What is a theoretical plate?

Which of the following statements is correct for paper chromatography?

Glycerol boils at $290\,^{\circ}C$ with slight decomposition. Impure glycerine can be purified by

Consider the following table$-$

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(A).$ Best and latest technique for isolation,purification and separation of organic compounds	$(i).$ Chromatography
$(B).$ In Lassaigne's test for $N$	$(ii).$ Vacuum distillation (distillation under reduced pressure)
$(C).$ In Lassaigne's test for $S$	$(iii).$ Violet coloured complex is formed
$(D).$ Aniline is purified from water by	$(iv).$ Prussian blue coloured complex is formed
$(E).$ Glycerol is purified from spent lye	$(v).$ Steam distillation

The correct match is $-$

Which purification method is generally used for a high boiling organic liquid compound,which decomposes below its boiling point?

$A$ chromatography column,packed with silica gel as the stationary phase,was used to separate a mixture of compounds consisting of $(A)$ benzanilide,$(B)$ aniline,and $(C)$ acetophenone. When the column is eluted with a mixture of solvents,hexane: ethyl acetate $(20: 80)$,the sequence of obtained compounds is:
