JEE Main Chemistry question

An azeotropic mixture of two liquids has a boiling point lower than either of them, when it [BCECE 2003]

(A)Shows a negative deviation from Raoult's law
(B)Shows no deviation from Raoult's law
(C)Shows positive deviation from Raoult's lawCorrect
(D)Is saturated

Answer: (C)

Solution

A minimum-boiling azeotrope (boiling point lower than either pure component) arises from a solution showing positive deviation from Raoult's law, where the escaping tendency (and
