Ask a question on chemical engineering principles; seek a solution

For a distillation column that has only a stripping section, a saturated liquid with a composition of 0.5 is fed into the column at the top. If the relative volatility of the system is 2.5, the composition of the product at the bottom of the column is 0.03, and the reflux ratio at the top is 0.27, determine the maximum possible value of the composition at the top of the column. If it is required that the composition at the top reach 0.8, what is the minimum reflux ratio needed? I am extremely grateful.

It is likely that this question was created by the original poster; it cannot be an official question from the \"Principles of Chemical Engineering\" course, as the conditions given are unreliable and far from appropriate. So ask others for help to stay as factual as possible.
Past exam questions on Principles of Chemical Engineering from Nanjing University. Thank you
