Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: Vapours of the liquid with higher boiling point condense before vapours of the liquid with lower boiling points in fractional distillation.
Statement $II$: The vapours rising up in the fractionating column become richer in high boiling component of the mixture.

  • A
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true
  • B
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false
  • C
    Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false
