As we learned

 

Raoult's Law -

The partial pressure of any volatile constituents of a solution at a given temperature is equal to the product of vapour pressure of pure constituent and its mole fraction in the solution.

P_{A}=P_{A}^{0}x_{A}

P_{B}=P_{B}^{0}x_{B}

 

 

- wherein

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

P_{A}  and P_{B} are vapour pressures of A and B respectively.

 

 P_{B}=P_{B}^{0}X_{B};    \therefore P_{B}=\frac{\frac{78}{78}}{\frac{78}{78}+\frac{46}{92}}\times 75;   \therefore P_{B}=50 torr
