B. 43499
C. 4/5 1/4
D.

Correct Answer - a
`Y_(A)=P_(A)/P=(P_(A)^(@)X_(A))/P,Y_(B)=P_(B)/P=(P_(B)^(@)X_(B))/P`
`Y_(A)/Y_(B)=P_(A)^(@)/P_(B)xxX_(A)/X_(B)`
Mole fraction in V.P. `prop` vapour phase in vapour phase (Y).
`4/3=1/3xxX_(A)/((1-X_(A)))`
`X_(A)/((1-X_(A)))=4 or (1-X_(A))/X_(A)=1/4`
`X_(A)=4/5 or X_(B)=1/5`
