A.
Zero
B.
One
Answer
C.
Two
D.
Three

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Degree of freedom =
For azeotropic binary mixture since number of components
Number of phases
Degree of freedom
But for azeotropic mixture since vapor composition liquid composition
Degree of freedom becomes
