@Krunal.

The slope of the rectifying section=1 is not that the reflux ratio is 1.

Whenever the slope is 1 reflux ratio of the rectifying section, the optimum line increases towards the equilibrium line and then the reflux ratio becomes infinite or we can say total reflux ratio condition where no of stages required is minimum.

Slope of rectifying section = R/(R + 1).

Substituting,option B we get slope = 1.
