Answer:

minimum number of stages ≈ 9 ( from Image number 1 )

Explanation:

Attached below is a detailed solution to the question

Total reflux = R Tending to infinity

we can determine the operation equation by stripping and rectifying section in total reflux condition

minimum number of stages ≈ 9 ( from Image number 1 )
