The vapour pressure of ethanol $(C_2H_5OH)$ and methanol $(CH_3OH)$ at $298 \ K$ is $44.5 \ mm \ Hg$ and $88.7 \ mm \ Hg$ respectively. At the same temperature,an ideal solution is prepared by mixing $60 \ g$ of ethanol and $40 \ g$ of methanol. Find the mole fraction of methanol in the vapour state.
