    Molecular weight of benzene (C6H6) = 78 .

    Molecular weight of toluene (C6H5CH3) = 92 .

    Let, mb grams of benzene is present with (100 - mb) grams of toluene in a 100 grams solution ;

    (mb/78)/{(mb/78) + (100 - mb)/92)} = 0.4 ;

    mb/78 = 0.4{(46mb + 3900 - 39mb)/3588} ;

    0.01282mb = 0.00078038mb + 0.4348 ;

    0.01203962mb = 0.4348 ;

    mb = 0.4348 / 0.01203962 = 36.1141 .

    Weight percentage of benzene = 36.1141 % .
