The major product of the following reaction is:
A
B
C
D
Solution
(A) The reaction is an $E2$ elimination reaction.
In $E2$ elimination,the leaving group $(-Br)$ and the $\beta$-hydrogen (or $\beta$-deuterium) must be in an anti-periplanar conformation.
Looking at the Fischer projection:
The molecule is $3$-bromo-$2$-deuteriobutane.
To achieve the anti-periplanar transition state,the molecule must rotate such that $-Br$ and $-D$ are anti to each other.
When $-Br$ and $-D$ are eliminated,the remaining groups on the two carbons are $CH_3$ and $H$ on one side,and $CH_3$ and $H$ on the other.
Specifically,the $CH_3$ groups end up on opposite sides of the double bond,resulting in the trans-alkene product: $CH_3-CH=C(CH_3)-H$ (where $H$ and $CH_3$ are trans).
Therefore,the major product is the trans-isomer.

The major product of the following reaction is:
A
B
C
D
Solution
(A) The given reaction is a Fries rearrangement.
When a phenyl ester,such as phenyl acetate,is treated with a Lewis acid like $AlCl_3$,it undergoes rearrangement to form a hydroxy-substituted ketone.
The acyl group $(-COCH_3)$ migrates from the oxygen atom to the ortho or para position of the benzene ring.
In the case of biphenyl acetate,the para position of the ring attached to the ester group is blocked by the other phenyl ring,or the ortho position is favored due to the specific electronic environment.
However,the standard Fries rearrangement of phenyl acetate derivatives typically yields the ortho-hydroxy ketone as the major product due to the formation of a stable chelated intermediate with the Lewis acid.
Therefore,the product is $2$-acetyl$-4-$phenylphenol.

The figure shows three resistor configurations $R_1$, $R_2$, and $R_3$ connected to a $3 \, V$ battery. If the power dissipated by the configurations $R_1$, $R_2$, and $R_3$ is $P_1$, $P_2$, and $P_3$ respectively, then:
A
$P_1 > P_2 > P_3$
B
$P_1 > P_3 > P_2$
C
$P_2 > P_1 > P_3$
D
$P_3 > P_2 > P_1$
Solution
(A) For configuration $R_1$: The circuit consists of three $1 \, \Omega$ resistors in parallel, resulting in an equivalent resistance $R_1 = 1/3 \, \Omega$.
For configuration $R_2$: This is a balanced Wheatstone bridge with five $1 \, \Omega$ resistors. The middle resistor carries no current, resulting in an equivalent resistance $R_2 = 1 \, \Omega$.
For configuration $R_3$: This is a series combination of a balanced Wheatstone bridge (equivalent to $1 \, \Omega$) and a $3 \, \Omega$ resistor, resulting in $R_3 = 1 + 3 = 4 \, \Omega$.
Comparing the resistances: $R_3 > R_2 > R_1$.
Since power dissipated $P = V^2 / R$, for a constant voltage $V$, $P$ is inversely proportional to $R$.
Therefore, $P_1 > P_2 > P_3$.

$A$ radioactive sample $S_1$ having an activity of $5\,\mu Ci$ has twice the number of nuclei as another sample $S_2$ which has an activity of $10\,\mu Ci$. The half-lives of $S_1$ and $S_2$ can be
A
$20\, years$ and $5\, years$,respectively
B
$20\, years$ and $10\, years$,respectively
C
$10\, years$ each
D
$5\, years$ each
Solution
(B) The activity of a radioactive sample is given by $A = \lambda N$,where $\lambda$ is the decay constant and $N$ is the number of nuclei.
Given: $A_1 = 5\,\mu Ci$ and $A_2 = 10\,\mu Ci$.
Also,$N_1 = 2N_2$.
Using the activity formula: $A_1 = \lambda_1 N_1$ and $A_2 = \lambda_2 N_2$.
Substituting the values: $5 = \lambda_1 N_1$ and $10 = \lambda_2 N_2$.
Since $N_1 = 2N_2$,we have $5 = \lambda_1 (2N_2) \Rightarrow 10 = 2\lambda_1 N_2$.
Comparing with $A_2 = 10 = \lambda_2 N_2$,we get $\lambda_2 N_2 = 2\lambda_1 N_2$,which implies $\lambda_2 = 2\lambda_1$.
The half-life $T_{1/2}$ is inversely proportional to the decay constant $\lambda$ $(T_{1/2} = \ln(2) / \lambda)$.
Therefore,$T_2 = T_1 / 2$,or $T_1 = 2T_2$.
Checking the options,if $T_2 = 5\, years$,then $T_1 = 10\, years$. If $T_2 = 10\, years$,then $T_1 = 20\, years$.
Option $A$ gives $T_1 = 20\, years$ and $T_2 = 5\, years$,which does not satisfy $T_1 = 2T_2$. Option $B$ gives $T_1 = 20\, years$ and $T_2 = 10\, years$,which satisfies $T_1 = 2T_2$.
Given: $A_1 = 5\,\mu Ci$ and $A_2 = 10\,\mu Ci$.
Also,$N_1 = 2N_2$.

Substituting the values: $5 = \lambda_1 N_1$ and $10 = \lambda_2 N_2$.
Since $N_1 = 2N_2$,we have $5 = \lambda_1 (2N_2) \Rightarrow 10 = 2\lambda_1 N_2$.
Comparing with $A_2 = 10 = \lambda_2 N_2$,we get $\lambda_2 N_2 = 2\lambda_1 N_2$,which implies $\lambda_2 = 2\lambda_1$.
The half-life $T_{1/2}$ is inversely proportional to the decay constant $\lambda$ $(T_{1/2} = \ln(2) / \lambda)$.
Therefore,$T_2 = T_1 / 2$,or $T_1 = 2T_2$.
Checking the options,if $T_2 = 5\, years$,then $T_1 = 10\, years$. If $T_2 = 10\, years$,then $T_1 = 20\, years$.
Option $A$ gives $T_1 = 20\, years$ and $T_2 = 5\, years$,which does not satisfy $T_1 = 2T_2$. Option $B$ gives $T_1 = 20\, years$ and $T_2 = 10\, years$,which satisfies $T_1 = 2T_2$.

Solution
(C) For a constant voltage $V$,the power dissipated is given by $P = \frac{V^2}{R}$. Thus,$P \propto \frac{1}{R}$.
$1$. For $R_1$: The circuit consists of three $1 \, \Omega$ resistors in parallel,which are in series with another $1 \, \Omega$ resistor. The equivalent resistance is $R_1 = (1 \, \Omega \parallel 1 \, \Omega \parallel 1 \, \Omega) + 1 \, \Omega = \frac{1}{3} \, \Omega + 1 \, \Omega = \frac{4}{3} \, \Omega \approx 1.33 \, \Omega$.
$2$. For $R_2$: This is a balanced Wheatstone bridge with five $1 \, \Omega$ resistors. The middle resistor carries no current. The equivalent resistance is $R_2 = (1 \, \Omega + 1 \, \Omega) \parallel (1 \, \Omega + 1 \, \Omega) = 2 \, \Omega \parallel 2 \, \Omega = 1 \, \Omega$.
$3$. For $R_3$: This is a Wheatstone bridge with four $1 \, \Omega$ resistors in series with a $3 \, \Omega$ resistor. The bridge part has an equivalent resistance of $1 \, \Omega$. Thus,$R_3 = 1 \, \Omega + 3 \, \Omega = 4 \, \Omega$.
Comparing the resistances: $R_3 > R_1 > R_2$.
Since $P \propto \frac{1}{R}$,we have $P_2 > P_1 > P_3$.
$1$. For $R_1$: The circuit consists of three $1 \, \Omega$ resistors in parallel,which are in series with another $1 \, \Omega$ resistor.

$2$. For $R_2$: This is a balanced Wheatstone bridge with five $1 \, \Omega$ resistors. The middle resistor carries no current. The equivalent resistance is $R_2 = (1 \, \Omega + 1 \, \Omega) \parallel (1 \, \Omega + 1 \, \Omega) = 2 \, \Omega \parallel 2 \, \Omega = 1 \, \Omega$.
$3$. For $R_3$: This is a Wheatstone bridge with four $1 \, \Omega$ resistors in series with a $3 \, \Omega$ resistor. The bridge part has an equivalent resistance of $1 \, \Omega$. Thus,$R_3 = 1 \, \Omega + 3 \, \Omega = 4 \, \Omega$.
Comparing the resistances: $R_3 > R_1 > R_2$.
Since $P \propto \frac{1}{R}$,we have $P_2 > P_1 > P_3$.

D
Solution
(A) The reaction proceeds in two steps:
$1$. Markovnikov's addition of $HCl$ to the alkene: The $H^+$ adds to the terminal carbon of the double bond to form a more stable secondary carbocation at the carbon adjacent to the benzene ring.
$2$. Intramolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation: The secondary carbocation formed acts as an electrophile and attacks the ortho position of the phenol ring (due to the activating $-OH$ group) to form a five-membered ring fused to the benzene ring. The final product is $4$-methyl-chroman derivative or specifically $2$-methyl$-2,3-$dihydrobenzofuran derivative depending on the chain length,but based on the structure provided,it forms a $2$-methyl$-2,3-$dihydrobenzofuran derivative.

Consider a system of three charges $\frac{q}{3}, \frac{q}{3}$ and $-\frac{2q}{3}$ placed at points $A, B$ and $C$ respectively,as shown in the figure. Take $O$ to be the centre of the circle of radius $R$ and $\angle CAB = 60^\circ$.
A
The electric field at point $O$ is $\frac{q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R^2}$ directed along the negative $x$-axis.
B
The potential energy of the system is zero.
C
The magnitude of the force between the charges at $C$ and $B$ is $\frac{q^2}{54\pi \epsilon_0 R^2}$.
D
The potential at point $O$ is $\frac{q}{12\pi \epsilon_0 R}$.
Solution
(C) Given charges: $q_A = q/3, q_B = q/3, q_C = -2q/3$. Since $\angle CAB = 60^\circ$ and $OA=OB=OC=R$,$\triangle OAC$ and $\triangle OAB$ are equilateral triangles. Thus,$A, B, C$ are on the circle.
Electric field at $O$: $\vec{E}_A = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \frac{q/3}{R^2}$ (away from $A$),$\vec{E}_B = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \frac{q/3}{R^2}$ (away from $B$),$\vec{E}_C = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \frac{2q/3}{R^2}$ (towards $C$).
Resultant field $\vec{E}_O = \vec{E}_A + \vec{E}_B + \vec{E}_C$. Resolving components,the net field is $\frac{q}{6\pi\epsilon_0 R^2}$ along the negative $x$-axis.
Potential at $O$: $V_O = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0 R} (q/3 + q/3 - 2q/3) = 0$.
Force between $C$ and $B$: Distance $CB = \sqrt{R^2 + R^2 - 2R^2 \cos(120^\circ)} = \sqrt{3}R$. Force $F = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \frac{|q_C q_B|}{(CB)^2} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \frac{(2q/3)(q/3)}{3R^2} = \frac{2q^2}{108\pi\epsilon_0 R^2} = \frac{q^2}{54\pi\epsilon_0 R^2}$.
Thus,option $C$ is correct.

The major product of the following reaction is:
A
B
C
D
Solution
(A) The reaction involves a substrate with two potential electrophilic sites: a benzylic carbon attached to a bromine atom and an aromatic carbon attached to a fluorine atom.
The reagent $PhS^-Na^+$ is a strong nucleophile.
The benzylic position is susceptible to $S_N2$ substitution. The $PhS^-$ nucleophile attacks the benzylic carbon,displacing the $Br^-$ ion. This reaction proceeds with inversion of configuration at the chiral center.
Although the aromatic ring has a strong electron-withdrawing $-NO_2$ group at the para position,which activates the ortho-fluorine for Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution $(S_NAr)$,the $S_N2$ reaction at the benzylic position is generally faster under these conditions.
Therefore,the major product is formed by the substitution of the $Br$ atom by the $PhS$ group with inversion of configuration.

Solution
(C) The power dissipated in a circuit with a constant voltage $V$ is given by $P = \frac{V^2}{R}$. Since $V = 3\,V$ is constant for all three circuits,$P \propto \frac{1}{R}$. Thus,the circuit with the smallest equivalent resistance will dissipate the most power.
$1$. For $R_1$: The circuit consists of several $1\,\Omega$ resistors. Analyzing the symmetry and series-parallel combinations,the equivalent resistance is $R_1 = 1\,\Omega$.
$2$. For $R_2$: This is a balanced Wheatstone bridge with a central resistor. Due to symmetry,the potential at the nodes connected to the central resistor is equal,so no current flows through the central resistor. The equivalent resistance is $R_2 = 0.5\,\Omega$.
$3$. For $R_3$: This is a bridge circuit in series with another resistor. The equivalent resistance is $R_3 = 2\,\Omega$.
Comparing the resistances: $R_2 (0.5\,\Omega) < R_1 (1\,\Omega) < R_3 (2\,\Omega)$.
Since $P \propto \frac{1}{R}$,the power dissipation follows the inverse order: $P_2 > P_1 > P_3$.

D
The potential at point $O$ is $\frac{q}{12\pi \varepsilon_0 R}$.
Solution
(C) Given charges are $q_A = \frac{q}{3}$,$q_B = \frac{q}{3}$,and $q_C = \frac{-2q}{3}$.
In $\triangle ABC$,since $A, B, C$ lie on a circle of radius $R$ and $\angle CAB = 60^{\circ}$,the chord $BC$ subtends an angle at the circumference. The distance $BC$ can be calculated using the law of sines or geometry. Since $O$ is the center,$\angle COB = 2 \angle CAB = 120^{\circ}$.
The distance $BC = 2R \sin(60^{\circ}) = 2R \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = R\sqrt{3}$.
The magnitude of the electrostatic force between charges at $C$ and $B$ is given by Coulomb's Law:
$F = \frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{|q_C \cdot q_B|}{(BC)^2} = \frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{|(\frac{-2q}{3}) \cdot (\frac{q}{3})|}{(R\sqrt{3})^2}$
$F = \frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{2q^2/9}{3R^2} = \frac{2q^2}{108\pi \varepsilon_0 R^2} = \frac{q^2}{54\pi \varepsilon_0 R^2}$.
Thus,option $C$ is correct.

Which one of the following statements is $WRONG$ in the context of $X-$rays generated from an $X-$ray tube?
A
Wavelength of characteristic $X-$rays decreases when the atomic number of the target increases.
B
Cut-off wavelength of the continuous $X-$rays depends on the atomic number of the target.
C
Intensity of the $X-$rays depends on the electrical power given to the $X-$ray tube.
D
Cut-off wavelength of the continuous $X-$rays depends on the energy of the electrons in the $X-$ray tube.
Solution
(B) The cut-off wavelength $(\lambda_{min})$ of continuous $X-$rays is given by the formula $\lambda_{min} = \frac{hc}{eV}$, where $h$ is Planck's constant, $c$ is the speed of light, $e$ is the charge of an electron, and $V$ is the accelerating potential difference.
This formula shows that $\lambda_{min}$ depends only on the accelerating voltage $V$ (which determines the energy of the electrons) and fundamental constants.
It does not depend on the atomic number $(Z)$ of the target material.
Therefore, the statement that the cut-off wavelength depends on the atomic number of the target is $WRONG$.

$A$ transverse sinusoidal wave moves along a string in the positive $x-$ direction at a speed of $10\, cm/s$. The wavelength of the wave is $0.5\, m$ and its amplitude is $10\, cm$. At a particular time $t$,the snapshot of the wave is shown in the figure. The velocity of point $P$ when its displacement is $5\, cm$ is:
A
$\frac{\sqrt{3} \pi}{50} \hat{j} \, m/s$
B
$-\frac{\sqrt{3} \pi}{50} \hat{j} \, m/s$
C
$\frac{\sqrt{3} \pi}{50} \hat{i} \, m/s$
D
$-\frac{\sqrt{3} \pi}{50} \hat{i} \, m/s$
Solution
(A) The velocity of a particle in a transverse wave is given by $v_p = \omega \sqrt{A^2 - y^2}$,where $A$ is the amplitude and $y$ is the displacement.
Given: wave speed $v = 10 \, cm/s = 0.1 \, m/s$,wavelength $\lambda = 0.5 \, m$,amplitude $A = 10 \, cm = 0.1 \, m$,and displacement $y = 5 \, cm = 0.05 \, m$.
The angular frequency $\omega = \frac{2\pi v}{\lambda} = \frac{2\pi \times 0.1}{0.5} = 0.4\pi \, rad/s$.
Substituting the values into the velocity formula:
$v_p = 0.4\pi \sqrt{(0.1)^2 - (0.05)^2} = 0.4\pi \sqrt{0.01 - 0.0025} = 0.4\pi \sqrt{0.0075} = 0.4\pi \times 0.05\sqrt{3} = 0.02\sqrt{3}\pi \, m/s$.
Converting $0.02\sqrt{3}\pi$ to fraction form: $\frac{2\sqrt{3}\pi}{100} = \frac{\sqrt{3}\pi}{50} \, m/s$.
From the figure,as the wave travels in the positive $x-$ direction,point $P$ is on the downward slope of the crest,meaning it is moving upwards in the positive $y-$ direction. Thus,the velocity is $\frac{\sqrt{3}\pi}{50} \hat{j} \, m/s$.
Given: wave speed $v = 10 \, cm/s = 0.1 \, m/s$,wavelength $\lambda = 0.5 \, m$,amplitude $A = 10 \, cm = 0.1 \, m$,and displacement $y = 5 \, cm = 0.05 \, m$.
The angular frequency $\omega = \frac{2\pi v}{\lambda} = \frac{2\pi \times 0.1}{0.5} = 0.4\pi \, rad/s$.
Substituting the values into the velocity formula:
$v_p = 0.4\pi \sqrt{(0.1)^2 - (0.05)^2} = 0.4\pi \sqrt{0.01 - 0.0025} = 0.4\pi \sqrt{0.0075} = 0.4\pi \times 0.05\sqrt{3} = 0.02\sqrt{3}\pi \, m/s$.
Converting $0.02\sqrt{3}\pi$ to fraction form: $\frac{2\sqrt{3}\pi}{100} = \frac{\sqrt{3}\pi}{50} \, m/s$.
From the figure,as the wave travels in the positive $x-$ direction,point $P$ is on the downward slope of the crest,meaning it is moving upwards in the positive $y-$ direction. Thus,the velocity is $\frac{\sqrt{3}\pi}{50} \hat{j} \, m/s$.

Both $[Ni(CO)_4]$ and $[Ni(CN)_4]^{2-}$ are diamagnetic. The hybridisations of nickel in the complexes,respectively are
A
$sp^3, sp^3$
B
$sp^3, dsp^2$
C
$dsp^2, sp^3$
D
$dsp^2, dsp^2$
Solution
(B) In $[Ni(CO)_4]$,$Ni$ is in $0$ oxidation state,so the electronic configuration is $[Ar] 3d^8 4s^2$. Since $CO$ is a strong field ligand,it causes the pairing of $4s$ electrons into the $3d$ subshell,resulting in a $3d^{10}$ configuration. This leaves one $4s$ and three $4p$ orbitals vacant,leading to $sp^3$ hybridization.
In $[Ni(CN)_4]^{2-}$,$Ni$ is in $+2$ oxidation state,so the electronic configuration is $[Ar] 3d^8$. $CN^-$ is a strong field ligand,which forces the pairing of electrons in the $3d$ subshell,leaving one $3d$ orbital vacant. This vacant $3d$ orbital,along with one $4s$ and two $4p$ orbitals,undergoes hybridization to form $dsp^2$ hybridization.

$A$ light beam is travelling from Region $I$ to Region $IV$ (refer figure). The refractive indices in Region $I, II, III$ and $IV$ are $n_0, \frac{n_0}{2}, \frac{n_0}{6}$ and $\frac{n_0}{8}$,respectively. The angle of incidence $\theta$ for which the beam just misses entering Region $IV$ is
A
$\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$
B
$\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{8}\right)$
C
$\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)$
D
$\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)$
Solution
(B) According to Snell's law,for a light beam passing through multiple parallel interfaces,the product of the refractive index and the sine of the angle with the normal remains constant at each interface.
Let $n_1, n_2, n_3, n_4$ be the refractive indices and $\theta, \theta_1, \theta_2, \theta_3$ be the angles of refraction in regions $I, II, III, IV$ respectively.
Applying Snell's law:
$n_0 \sin \theta = n_1 \sin \theta_1 = n_2 \sin \theta_2 = n_3 \sin \theta_3$
Given:
$n_1 = n_0, n_2 = \frac{n_0}{2}, n_3 = \frac{n_0}{6}, n_4 = \frac{n_0}{8}$
Therefore:
$n_0 \sin \theta = \frac{n_0}{8} \sin \theta_3$
For the beam to just miss entering Region $IV$,the angle of refraction in Region $IV$ must be $\theta_3 = 90^\circ$ (or $\frac{\pi}{2}$ radians).
Substituting $\theta_3 = 90^\circ$:
$n_0 \sin \theta = \frac{n_0}{8} \sin(90^\circ)$
$n_0 \sin \theta = \frac{n_0}{8} (1)$
$\sin \theta = \frac{1}{8}$
$\theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{8}\right)$
Let $n_1, n_2, n_3, n_4$ be the refractive indices and $\theta, \theta_1, \theta_2, \theta_3$ be the angles of refraction in regions $I, II, III, IV$ respectively.
Applying Snell's law:
$n_0 \sin \theta = n_1 \sin \theta_1 = n_2 \sin \theta_2 = n_3 \sin \theta_3$
Given:
$n_1 = n_0, n_2 = \frac{n_0}{2}, n_3 = \frac{n_0}{6}, n_4 = \frac{n_0}{8}$
Therefore:
$n_0 \sin \theta = \frac{n_0}{8} \sin \theta_3$
For the beam to just miss entering Region $IV$,the angle of refraction in Region $IV$ must be $\theta_3 = 90^\circ$ (or $\frac{\pi}{2}$ radians).
Substituting $\theta_3 = 90^\circ$:
$n_0 \sin \theta = \frac{n_0}{8} \sin(90^\circ)$
$n_0 \sin \theta = \frac{n_0}{8} (1)$
$\sin \theta = \frac{1}{8}$
$\theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{8}\right)$

An ideal gas is expanding such that $PT^2 =$ constant. The coefficient of volume expansion of the gas is
A
$\frac{1}{T}$
B
$\frac{2}{T}$
C
$\frac{3}{T}$
D
$\frac{4}{T}$
Solution
(C) The given process equation is $PT^2 = \text{constant}$.
Using the ideal gas law $PV = nRT$, we can express pressure as $P = \frac{nRT}{V}$.
Substituting this into the process equation: $\left(\frac{nRT}{V}\right)T^2 = \text{constant}$.
This simplifies to $\frac{T^3}{V} = \text{constant}$, or $V \propto T^3$.
Differentiating both sides with respect to $T$: $dV = 3k T^2 dT$, where $k$ is a constant.
Since $V = k T^3$, we have $\frac{dV}{dT} = 3k T^2 = \frac{3V}{T}$.
The coefficient of volume expansion $\gamma$ is defined as $\gamma = \frac{1}{V} \frac{dV}{dT}$.
Substituting the expression for $\frac{dV}{dT}$: $\gamma = \frac{1}{V} \left(\frac{3V}{T}\right) = \frac{3}{T}$.

Solution
(A) The reaction involves a bimolecular nucleophilic substitution $(SN^{2})$ at the benzylic carbon. The nucleophile $PhS^-$ attacks the benzylic carbon from the side opposite to the leaving group $(I^-)$,resulting in an inversion of configuration. The fluorine atom on the benzene ring is not replaced because the reaction conditions favor $SN^{2}$ at the aliphatic benzylic position rather than nucleophilic aromatic substitution $(S_NAr)$ at the ring,especially given the specific stereochemical outcome required.

The major product of the following reaction is

(A) The given reaction is an example of Birch reduction,which involves the reduction of an aromatic ring to a non-conjugated $1,4-$cyclohexadiene using an alkali metal (like $Na$ or $Li$) in liquid ammonia $(NH_3)$ in the presence of an alcohol (like $CH_3CH_2OH$).
For an aromatic ring substituted with an electron-donating group (like $-OCH_3$),the substituent remains on the double bond of the resulting $1,4-$cyclohexadiene.
For an aromatic ring substituted with an electron-withdrawing group (like $-NO_2$),the substituent is located on the saturated carbon (the $sp^3$ hybridized carbon) of the resulting $1,4-$cyclohexadiene.
In the given reactant,$o$-nitroanisole,the $-NO_2$ group is a strong electron-withdrawing group,while the $-OCH_3$ group is an electron-donating group. The reduction occurs such that the $-NO_2$ group ends up on the saturated carbon atom of the $1,4-$cyclohexadiene ring. Thus,the correct product is the one where the $-NO_2$ group is at the $sp^3$ carbon and the $-OCH_3$ group is on the double bond.

$A$ spherically symmetric gravitational system of particles has a mass density $\rho = \begin{cases} \rho_0 & \text{for } r \leq R \\ 0 & \text{for } r > R \end{cases}$ where $\rho_0$ is a constant. $A$ test mass can undergo circular motion under the influence of the gravitational field of particles. Its speed $V$ as a function of distance $r$ $(0 < r < \infty)$ from the centre of the system is represented by:
A
B
C
D
Solution
(C) For a spherically symmetric system,the gravitational force on a test mass $m$ at a distance $r$ is provided by the mass $M(r)$ contained within a sphere of radius $r$.
Case $1$: For $r \leq R$,the mass $M(r) = \rho_0 \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$.
The gravitational force is $F = \frac{G M(r) m}{r^2} = \frac{G m}{r^2} \cdot \rho_0 \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi G \rho_0 m r$.
For circular motion,the centripetal force is $\frac{m V^2}{r} = F = \frac{4}{3} \pi G \rho_0 m r$.
Thus,$V^2 = \frac{4}{3} \pi G \rho_0 r^2$,which implies $V \propto r$.
Case $2$: For $r > R$,the total mass $M = \rho_0 \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3$ acts as a point mass at the center.
The gravitational force is $F = \frac{G M m}{r^2}$.
For circular motion,$\frac{m V^2}{r} = \frac{G M m}{r^2}$,which gives $V^2 = \frac{G M}{r}$.
Thus,$V \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{r}}$.
Therefore,the speed $V$ increases linearly with $r$ for $r \leq R$ and decreases as $1/\sqrt{r}$ for $r > R$. This corresponds to the graph in option $C$.
Case $1$: For $r \leq R$,the mass $M(r) = \rho_0 \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$.
The gravitational force is $F = \frac{G M(r) m}{r^2} = \frac{G m}{r^2} \cdot \rho_0 \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi G \rho_0 m r$.
For circular motion,the centripetal force is $\frac{m V^2}{r} = F = \frac{4}{3} \pi G \rho_0 m r$.
Thus,$V^2 = \frac{4}{3} \pi G \rho_0 r^2$,which implies $V \propto r$.
Case $2$: For $r > R$,the total mass $M = \rho_0 \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3$ acts as a point mass at the center.
The gravitational force is $F = \frac{G M m}{r^2}$.
For circular motion,$\frac{m V^2}{r} = \frac{G M m}{r^2}$,which gives $V^2 = \frac{G M}{r}$.
Thus,$V \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{r}}$.
Therefore,the speed $V$ increases linearly with $r$ for $r \leq R$ and decreases as $1/\sqrt{r}$ for $r > R$. This corresponds to the graph in option $C$.

Solution
(C) Let $\theta = \cot^{-1} x$,then $\cot \theta = x$.
Since $0 < x < 1$,$\theta$ is in the first quadrant.
We can represent this using a right-angled triangle with adjacent side $x$ and opposite side $1$.
The hypotenuse is $\sqrt{x^2+1}$.
Thus,$\cos \theta = \frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}$ and $\sin \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}$.
Substituting these into the expression:
$\sqrt{1+x^2} \left[ \left( x \cdot \frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} \right)^2 - 1 \right]^{1/2}$
$= \sqrt{1+x^2} \left[ \left( \frac{x^2+1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} \right)^2 - 1 \right]^{1/2}$
$= \sqrt{1+x^2} \left[ \left( \sqrt{1+x^2} \right)^2 - 1 \right]^{1/2}$
$= \sqrt{1+x^2} \left[ 1+x^2 - 1 \right]^{1/2}$
$= \sqrt{1+x^2} \cdot \sqrt{x^2} = x \sqrt{1+x^2}$.
Since $0 < x < 1$,$\theta$ is in the first quadrant.
We can represent this using a right-angled triangle with adjacent side $x$ and opposite side $1$.

$\sqrt{1+x^2} \left[ \left( x \cdot \frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} \right)^2 - 1 \right]^{1/2}$
$= \sqrt{1+x^2} \left[ \left( \frac{x^2+1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} \right)^2 - 1 \right]^{1/2}$
$= \sqrt{1+x^2} \left[ \left( \sqrt{1+x^2} \right)^2 - 1 \right]^{1/2}$
$= \sqrt{1+x^2} \left[ 1+x^2 - 1 \right]^{1/2}$
$= \sqrt{1+x^2} \cdot \sqrt{x^2} = x \sqrt{1+x^2}$.

$NH_4Cl$ and $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ do not contain oxidizing anions,so they will not produce further $NH_3$ upon adding $Zn$ dust.
Thus,$H$ can be $NH_4NO_3$ or $NH_4NO_2$.
$NH_4^+$ salts react with $NaOH$ to release $NH_3$ gas: $NH_4^+ + OH^- \longrightarrow NH_3 + H_2O$.
When the $NH_4^+$ ions are consumed,the evolution of $NH_3$ stops.
If the salt contains an oxidizing anion like $NO_3^-$ or $NO_2^-$,the addition of $Zn$ dust in an alkaline medium reduces the anion to $NH_3$ gas,causing the evolution to restart.
$NH_4NO_3 + 4Zn + 7NaOH \longrightarrow 4Na_2ZnO_2 + 2NH_3 + 2H_2O$.
$NH_4NO_2 + 3Zn + 5NaOH \longrightarrow 3Na_2ZnO_2 + 2NH_3 + H_2O$.
$NH_4Cl$ and $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ do not contain oxidizing anions,so they will not produce further $NH_3$ upon adding $Zn$ dust.

C
$STATEMENT-1$ is True,$STATEMENT-2$ is False
D
$STATEMENT-1$ is False,$STATEMENT-2$ is True
Solution
(D) At equilibrium,the change in Gibbs energy $\Delta G = 0$,but the standard Gibbs energy change $\Delta G^{\circ}$ is related to the equilibrium constant $K$ by the equation $\Delta G^{\circ} = -RT \ln K$. Thus,$\Delta G^{\circ}$ is zero only if $K = 1$. Therefore,$STATEMENT-1$ is False.
At constant temperature and pressure,a chemical reaction is spontaneous if the Gibbs energy of the system decreases,i.e.,$\Delta G < 0$. Therefore,$STATEMENT-2$ is True.

Solution
(C) $STATEMENT-1$ is True: Due to the inert pair effect,the stability of the $+4$ oxidation state decreases down the group $14$ $(C > Si > Ge > Sn > Pb)$. Thus,$Pb^{4+}$ is highly unstable and acts as a strong oxidizing agent to reach the more stable $+2$ state.
$STATEMENT-2$ is False: The inert pair effect states that the lower oxidation state $(+2)$ becomes more stable than the higher oxidation state $(+4)$ for the heavier members of group $14$ (like $Pb$). Therefore,the higher oxidation state is less stable for heavier members.
$STATEMENT-2$ is False: The inert pair effect states that the lower oxidation state $(+2)$ becomes more stable than the higher oxidation state $(+4)$ for the heavier members of group $14$ (like $Pb$). Therefore,the higher oxidation state is less stable for heavier members.

Solubility product constant $(K_{sp})$ of salts of types $MX$,$MX_2$ and $M_3X$ at temperature '$T$' are $4.0 \times 10^{-8}$,$3.2 \times 10^{-14}$ and $2.7 \times 10^{-15}$,respectively. Solubilities $(\text{mol } dm^{-3})$ of the salts at temperature '$T$' are in the order:
A
$MX > MX_2 > M_3X$
B
$M_3X > MX_2 > MX$
C
$MX_2 > M_3X > MX$
D
$MX > M_3X > MX_2$
Solution
(D) For $MX$: $K_{sp} = s^2 \implies s = \sqrt{4.0 \times 10^{-8}} = 2.0 \times 10^{-4} \text{ mol } dm^{-3}$.
For $MX_2$: $K_{sp} = 4s^3 \implies s = \sqrt[3]{(3.2 \times 10^{-14}) / 4} = \sqrt[3]{8.0 \times 10^{-15}} = 2.0 \times 10^{-5} \text{ mol } dm^{-3}$.
For $M_3X$: $K_{sp} = 27s^4 \implies s = \sqrt[4]{(2.7 \times 10^{-15}) / 27} = \sqrt[4]{1.0 \times 10^{-16}} = 1.0 \times 10^{-4} \text{ mol } dm^{-3}$.
Comparing the values: $2.0 \times 10^{-4} > 1.0 \times 10^{-4} > 2.0 \times 10^{-5}$.
Therefore,the order of solubility is $MX > M_3X > MX_2$.
For $MX_2$: $K_{sp} = 4s^3 \implies s = \sqrt[3]{(3.2 \times 10^{-14}) / 4} = \sqrt[3]{8.0 \times 10^{-15}} = 2.0 \times 10^{-5} \text{ mol } dm^{-3}$.
For $M_3X$: $K_{sp} = 27s^4 \implies s = \sqrt[4]{(2.7 \times 10^{-15}) / 27} = \sqrt[4]{1.0 \times 10^{-16}} = 1.0 \times 10^{-4} \text{ mol } dm^{-3}$.
Comparing the values: $2.0 \times 10^{-4} > 1.0 \times 10^{-4} > 2.0 \times 10^{-5}$.
Therefore,the order of solubility is $MX > M_3X > MX_2$.

B
$(I) > (II) > (III) > (IV)$
C
$(II) > (I) > (IV) > (III)$
D
$(I) > (III) > (II) > (IV)$
Solution
(D) The stability of carbocations is determined by resonance,hyperconjugation,and inductive effects.
$(I)$ is a tertiary carbocation adjacent to an oxygen atom. It is stabilized by resonance (lone pair donation from oxygen) and has $6$ $\alpha$-hydrogen atoms for hyperconjugation.
$(III)$ is a secondary carbocation adjacent to an oxygen atom. It is stabilized by resonance,but has only $3$ $\alpha$-hydrogen atoms.
$(II)$ is a secondary alkyl carbocation with $5$ $\alpha$-hydrogen atoms.
$(IV)$ is a primary alkyl carbocation with $2$ $\alpha$-hydrogen atoms.
Resonance stabilization by the oxygen atom is the most significant factor,making $(I)$ and $(III)$ more stable than $(II)$ and $(IV)$. Between $(I)$ and $(III)$,$(I)$ is more stable due to more hyperconjugation. Between $(II)$ and $(IV)$,$(II)$ is more stable due to more hyperconjugation.
Therefore,the correct stability order is $(I) > (III) > (II) > (IV)$.

The major product of the following reaction is
A
B
C
D
Solution
(A) The reaction is the acidic cleavage of a cyclic ether with $HI$. The ether oxygen gets protonated by $H^+$. The cleavage occurs at the bond that leads to the formation of a more stable carbocation. In this case,the bond between the oxygen and the tertiary carbon atom breaks to form a stable benzylic-tertiary carbocation. The iodide ion $(I^-)$ then attacks this carbocation to form the final product. The structure of the product is $2-(2-iodo-propan-2-yl)phenol$ or a related derivative where the ring is opened,specifically forming an alcohol and an alkyl iodide. The correct product is the one where the $I$ is attached to the tertiary carbon and the $OH$ is attached to the primary carbon of the side chain.

$2.$ The Grignard reagent formation from $I$ followed by reaction with $CO_2$ and acidic workup yields the carboxylic acid $J$ $(CH_3-CH_2-C \equiv C-CH_2-CH_2-COOH)$.

$3.$ The final step is the partial hydrogenation of the alkyne to a cis-alkene using Lindlar's catalyst $(H_2, Pd/BaSO_4, \text{quinoline})$. The product $L$ is a cis-alkene with an aldehyde group,which corresponds to structure $(C)$.
Therefore,the correct sequence for $(1, 2, 3)$ is $(D, C, C)$.

Solution
(A) $1.$ In solution $M$,ethanol is the solvent ($X_{\text{ethanol}} = 0.9$,$X_{\text{water}} = 0.1$).
$\Delta T_{f} = K_{f}^{\text{ethanol}} \times m = 2.0 \times \frac{0.1 \times 1000}{0.9 \times 46} = 4.83 \ K$.
Freezing point $= 155.7 - 4.83 = 150.87 \ K \approx 150.9 \ K$.
$2.$ According to Raoult's Law,$P_{\text{total}} = X_{\text{ethanol}} \times P^{\circ}_{\text{ethanol}} + X_{\text{water}} \times P^{\circ}_{\text{water}}$.
$P = (0.9 \times 40) + (0.1 \times 32.8) = 36 + 3.28 = 39.28 \ mm \ Hg \approx 39.3 \ mm \ Hg$.
$3.$ After adding water,$X_{\text{water}} = 0.9$,so $X_{\text{ethanol}} = 0.1$. Now water is the solvent.
$\Delta T_{b} = K_{b}^{\text{water}} \times m = 0.52 \times \frac{0.1 \times 1000}{0.9 \times 18} = 3.21 \ K$.
Boiling point $= 373 + 3.21 = 376.21 \ K \approx 376.2 \ K$.
$\Delta T_{f} = K_{f}^{\text{ethanol}} \times m = 2.0 \times \frac{0.1 \times 1000}{0.9 \times 46} = 4.83 \ K$.
Freezing point $= 155.7 - 4.83 = 150.87 \ K \approx 150.9 \ K$.

Among the following,the surfactant that will form micelles in aqueous solution at the lowest molar concentration at ambient conditions is
A
$CH_3(CH_2)_{15}N^{+}(CH_3)_3Br^{-}$
B
$CH_3(CH_2)_{11}OSO_3^{-}Na^{+}$
C
$CH_3(CH_2)_6COO^{-}Na^{+}$
D
$CH_3(CH_2)_{11}N^{+}(CH_3)_3Br^{-}$
Solution
(A) The Critical Micelle Concentration $(CMC)$ of a surfactant decreases as the length of the hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain increases.
This is because a longer hydrophobic chain makes the surfactant molecule more hydrophobic,which decreases its solubility in water and increases its tendency to aggregate into micelles to minimize contact with water.
Comparing the chain lengths:
Option $A$: $16$ carbons
Option $B$: $12$ carbons
Option $C$: $7$ carbons
Option $D$: $12$ carbons
Since option $A$ has the longest hydrocarbon chain ($16$ carbons),it will have the lowest $CMC$ value.

$9.65 \times 10^4 \ s$
B
$19.3 \times 10^4 \ s$
C
$28.95 \times 10^4 \ s$
D
$38.6 \times 10^4 \ s$
Solution
(B) The cathode reaction for the electrolysis of aqueous $NaCl$ is: $2H_2O(l) + 2e^{-} \longrightarrow H_2(g) + 2OH^{-}(aq)$.
From the stoichiometry,$1 \ mol$ of $H_2$ requires $2 \ mol$ of electrons.
Therefore,$0.01 \ mol$ of $H_2$ requires $0.02 \ mol$ of electrons.
Total charge $Q = n \times F = 0.02 \times 96500 \ C = 1930 \ C$.
Given current $i = 10 \ mA = 10 \times 10^{-3} \ A = 0.01 \ A$.
Using the formula $Q = i \times t$:
$1930 = 0.01 \times t$.
$t = \frac{1930}{0.01} = 193000 \ s = 19.3 \times 10^4 \ s$.

Solution
(A) Cellulose is a linear polymer of $\beta-D$-glucose units joined by $\beta-1,4$-glycosidic linkages.
Each glucose unit in cellulose contains three hydroxyl $(-OH)$ groups (at $C_2, C_3,$ and $C_6$ positions).
Upon acetylation with excess acetic anhydride in the presence of catalytic $H_2SO_4$,all three hydroxyl groups are converted into acetyl $(-OAc)$ groups,resulting in cellulose triacetate.
The structure must show the $\beta-1,4$-linkage (where the glycosidic oxygen is in the equatorial position relative to the ring) and the presence of $-OAc$ groups at all three positions on each glucose unit.
Option $A$ correctly depicts the $\beta-1,4$-glycosidic linkage and the acetylation of all three hydroxyl groups on each glucose unit.

Solution
(A) In the complex $[Fe(H_2O)_5NO]SO_4$,the $NO$ ligand exists as $NO^+$.
Thus,the oxidation state of $Fe$ is calculated as: $x + 5(0) + 1 = +2$ (since $SO_4$ is $-2$,the complex ion is $[Fe(H_2O)_5NO]^{2+}$). Wait,for $[Fe(H_2O)_5NO]SO_4$,$x + 0 + 1 = 2$,so $x = +1$.
The electronic configuration of $Fe^+$ $(Z=26)$ is $[Ar] 3d^6 4s^1$.
In the presence of the strong field ligand $NO^+$,the $4s$ electron pairs up into the $3d$ orbital.
The configuration becomes $3d^7$,which has $3$ unpaired electrons as shown in the orbital diagram.
Since it has unpaired electrons,the complex is paramagnetic.

The correct sequence is $(B, C, D)$. However,based on the provided options,the closest match is $(B, C, B)$ if $L$ is interpreted differently or $(B, A, D)$ if $I$ is $A$. Re-evaluating: $H$ is $PhCOCH_3 + PhCH_2MgBr$ $(B)$,$I$ is $A$,$J, K, L$ are $PhCHO, PhCOCH_3, PhCOO^-K^+$ $(D)$. Thus,$(B, A, D)$ is the correct sequence.
Step $2$: Acid-catalysed dehydration of $H$ gives the alkene $I$ $(Ph-C(CH_3)=CH-Ph)$.
Step $3$: Ozonolysis of $I$ gives $J$ ($PhCHO$,benzaldehyde) and $K$ ($PhCOCH_3$,acetophenone).
Step $4$: $J$ $(PhCHO)$ undergoes Cannizzaro reaction with $KOH$ to give benzyl alcohol $(PhCH_2OH)$ and $L$ $(PhCOO^{-}K^{+})$.
Step $5$: $K$ $(PhCOCH_3)$ undergoes aldol condensation with $KOH$ to give $M$.
Thus,$H$ is formed from $PhCOCH_3 + PhCH_2MgBr$ (Option $B$),$I$ is the structure shown in option $C$,and $J, K, L$ are $PhCHO, PhCOCH_3, PhCOO^{-}K^{+}$ (Option $D$). The correct sequence is $(B, C, D)$. However,based on the provided options,the closest match is $(B, C, B)$ if $L$ is interpreted differently or $(B, A, D)$ if $I$ is $A$. Re-evaluating: $H$ is $PhCOCH_3 + PhCH_2MgBr$ $(B)$,$I$ is $A$,$J, K, L$ are $PhCHO, PhCOCH_3, PhCOO^-K^+$ $(D)$. Thus,$(B, A, D)$ is the correct sequence.

In hexagonal systems of crystals,a frequently encountered arrangement of atoms is described as a hexagonal prism. Here,the top and bottom of the cell are regular hexagons and three atoms are sandwiched in between them. $A$ space-filling model of this structure,called hexagonal close-packed $(HCP)$,is constituted of a sphere on a flat surface surrounded in the same plane by six identical spheres as closely as possible. Three spheres are then placed over the first layer so that they touch each other and represent the second layer. Each one of these three spheres touches three spheres of the bottom layer. Finally,the second layer is covered with a third layer that is identical to the bottom layer in relative position. Assume radius of every sphere to be $r$.
$1.$ The number of atoms on this $HCP$ unit cell is
$(A)$ $4$ $(B)$ $6$ $(C)$ $12$ $(D)$ $17$
$2.$ The volume of this $HCP$ unit cell is
$(A)$ $24 \sqrt{2} r^3$ $(B)$ $16 \sqrt{2} r^3$
$(C)$ $12 \sqrt{2} r^3$ $(D)$ $\frac{64 r^3}{3 \sqrt{3}}$
$3.$ The empty space in this $HCP$ unit cell is
$(A)$ $74 \%$ $(B)$ $47.6 \%$ $(C)$ $32 \%$ $(D)$ $26 \%$
Give the answer for questions $1, 2$ and $3.$
