`n_(B) = n_(T) = x ( say)`
`:. x_(B) = (n_(B))/( n_(B) + n_(T)) = (x)/( x + x) = (1)/(2)`
`:. x_(T) = 1 - x_(B) = 1 - (1)/(2) = (1)/(2) `
`p_(B)^(@) = 160 m m " of Hg ", p_(T)^(@) = 60` m m of Hg
`p_("Solution") = p_(B)^(@) xx x_(B) + p_(T)^(@) xx x_(T)`
`= (160 xx (1)/(2) + 60 xx (1)/(2))` m m of Hg
`= (220)/(2)` m m of Hg = 110 m m of Hg
