When a non-volatile solute is added to the solvent,the vapour pressure of the solvent decreases by $10 \ mm \ Hg$. The mole fraction of the solute in the solution is $0.2$. What would be the mole fraction of the solvent if the decrease in vapour pressure is $20 \ mm \ Hg$?

  • A
    $0.6$
  • B
    $0.4$
  • C
    $0.2$
  • D
    $0.8$
