As we learnt in

Rault's Law -

The total vapour pressure of binary mixture of miscible liquids be having ideally is given by

P_{T}= P_{A}^{0}x_{A}+P_{B}^{0}x_{B}

Where x_{A}  and  x_{B} are mole fraction of A and B in liquid phase.

 

 

- wherein

P_{A}^{0}  and P_{B}^{0} are vapour pressures of pure liquids.

 

 P=p_{A}^{0}\; \chi_{A}+p_{B}^{0}\; \chi_{B}

290=p_{A}^{0}\times 0.6+200\times (1-0.6)

290=0.6\times p_{A}^{0}+80

p_{A}^{0}=350

Correct option is 2.
