4. Two volatile liquids, A & B, are mixed together. Under the conditions in the room, a pure sample of liquid A would have a vapor pressure of 30 torr, and a pure sample of liquid 8 would have a vapor pressure of 70 torr. Assume the liquids behave ideally. If the measured vapor pressure of the mixture is {40, 60} torr, what is the mole fraction of liquid (A, B) in the mixture? A) 0.25 B) 0.50 C) 0.75 d) none of these  Note: The answer may be C but need help on the process to get this value.
