    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

    Since activity co-efficient is defined as
    $$\eqalign{ & {\gamma _i} = \frac{{{\text{Fugacity in real solution}}}}{{{\text{Fugacity in ideal solution}}}}, \cr & ln{\gamma _1} = \frac{{\overline {n{G^E}_l} }}{{RT}} = 0\left( {{\text{for ideal solution}}} \right), \cr} $$
    Since there will be no excess gibbs free energy for ideal solution.
    So, in the question it will be better if replace ideal gas by ideal solution.
