4.b.
Two metals A and B with melting temperatures $850^{o}C$ and $1100^{o}C$ respectively having unlimited liquid solubilities.They form an eutectic solid solution at $600^{o}C$ and a composition of 35% A and 65% B. The maximum solid solubility of A in B is 10% at eutectic temperature and 5% at room temperature.The maximum solubility of B in A is 16% at eutectic temperature and 7% at rom temperature. Assume liquidus, soludus and solvers lines to be straight.
