Why? Explain.
Vishnu said:   7 years ago
Load on the cooler/condensor and reboiler will increase while the reflux ratio increasing.

What about option B? Is it a correct statement?

Partial condensation is considered as one tray. Otherwise how could consider as a tray?
Vivek gupta said:   7 years ago
I think option B is also a wrong statement.
Solanki Savan said:   5 years ago
I think both B and C are wrong.

Option B is incorrect as a total condenser is not considered an ideal tray.

Moreover, option C is correct as increasing the reflux increases the load on the reboiler and not the condenser as more liquid is entered into the column.
