@All.
Here, the statement "Relative volatility of a binary mixture changes appreciably with the minor change in temperature" is true.
Even a small change in temperature can have a significant effect on the relative volatility of a binary mixture. This is because the vapor pressure and hence the relative volatility of the components are temperature dependent, and even a minor change in temperature can result in a significant change in vapor pressure and relative volatility. As a result, distillation processes that rely on relative volatility for separation are very sensitive to changes in temperature.
