A distillation column is used to separate a mixture of two components, A and B, into two overhead streams and one bottom stream. The molar flow rate of the mixture entering the column is given by F = 100 mol/h, and the distillate (overhead) and bottom product stream molar flow rates are given by D and B, respectively. The relative volatility of the two components, alpha, is given by alpha = 2.5.

Find the molar flow rate of component A in the distillate stream and the molar flow rate of component B in the bottom stream.
