Agree, right Answer is Zero.

Answer is 0, as no plait point can exist in the ternary diagram where two pairs of partially miscible liquids exist.

Good description @Atul.

It should be zero because looking at the binodal curve for two pair partially soluble liquid there's nowhere we can find the plait point.

It should be 1 in this case because at plait point both phases will be identical as solvent is miscible in extracting solute as well as in feed solvent but for immiscible case it would be 0.
