(14 points) The benzene-toluene mixture is separated by a tray distillation tower at normal pressure. There is a full condeaser on the top. The average relative volatility is 2.47, the feed is a saturated vapor with 150kmol/h flowrate, whose composition is 0.4(molar fraction). The reflux ratio is 4, the recovery rate of benzene in the distillate is 0.97, and the recovery rate of toluene in the kettle liquid is 0.95. Calculate the ratio RRMin
