We know this formula for vapour pressure of a solution -

\mathrm{P_\textup{Total}=\chi _A P_A+\chi_B P_B}

At 45oC,

 vapour pressure of benzene  (PA)=   280 mm Hg

 vapour pressure of octane (PB) =  420 mm Hg

 Given, benzene to octane in molar ratio 3:2 

So,

\mathrm{P = \frac{3}{3+2}\times280+\frac{2}{3+2}\times420}

\mathrm{P =168+168}

\mathrm{P =336}

Therefore, the correct option is (3).
