and 
are stronger than those between 
.
and are stronger than those between . B
at constant 
and 
. C
at constant 
and 
. D
Intermolecular attractive forces between 
and 
are equal to those between 
.
and are equal to those between .
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Solution exhibits positive deviation from ideal behaviour if the intermolecular interactions, i.e. 
interactions are more weaker than in pure components, i.e. between 
or 
. Thus, option is correct. The remaining options are valid only for ideal solutions.
