$A$ solution of liquids $A$ and $B$ is given. The mole fraction of $A$ in the vapor phase is $x_1$ and in the liquid phase is $x_2$. If $P_A^o$ and $P_B^o$ are the vapor pressures of pure $A$ and $B$ respectively,then the total vapor pressure $P_{total}$ will be:

  • A
    $\frac{x_1}{x_2} P_A^o$
  • B
    $\frac{x_2}{x_1} P_A^o$
  • C
    $\frac{x_1}{x_2} P_B^o$
  • D
    $\frac{x_2}{x_1} P_B^o$
