Answer»

Right answer is (B) The two STREAMS split with equal composition

Easy EXPLANATION: Splitting POINT: 6 variables – 2 mass balances – 1 knowing compositions are the same – 1 splitting ratio = 2 DOF (Degree of freedom). The splitting point is SPECIAL because when a stream is split, it generally is split into two streams with equal composition.
