In a mixture of liquids $A$ and $B$,if the mole fractions of component $A$ in vapour phase and liquid mixture are $x_1$ and $x_2$ respectively,then the total vapour pressure of liquid mixture is (where $P_{A}^{\circ}$ and $P_{B}^{\circ}$ are the vapour pressures of pure $A$ and $B$)

  • A
    $\frac{P_{B}^{\circ} x_1}{x_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{P_{B}^{\circ} x_2}{x_1}$
  • C
    $\frac{P_{A}^{\circ} x_2}{x_1}$
  • D
    $\frac{P_{A}^{\circ} x_1}{x_2}$
