A bubble-point feed mixture of 5 mol% A and 95 mol% B is to be distilled to obtain a distillate containing 35 mol% A and a bottoms containing 0.2 mol% A. The column has a partial reboiler and a partial condenser. If the constant relative volatility is given to be ?A,B = 6. Using graphical method, find out:

a) The minimum number of equilibrium stages.

b) The minimum boilup ratio: ??? /??

c) The actual number of stages if the boilup ratio is 1.2 times the minimum.
