For two pure volatile liquids X and Y, attractive intermolecular interactions of both X-X and Y-Y are weaker than those of X-Y. The total vapour pressure of an equimolar solution of X and Y is p$_{\text{total}$. The vapour pressure of pure X and pure Y are p$^0_{\text{X}}$ and p$^0_{\text{Y}}$, respectively. Which one of the following relations is correct?
