Let $P(6, 3)$ be a point on the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$. If the normal at point $P$ intersects the $x$-axis at $(9, 0)$,then the eccentricity of the hyperbola is:
A
$\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}$
B
$\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$
C
$\sqrt{2}$
D
$\sqrt{3}$

Solution

(B) The equation of the normal to the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ at point $(x_1, y_1)$ is given by $\frac{a^2x}{x_1} + \frac{b^2y}{y_1} = a^2 + b^2$.
Substituting $(x_1, y_1) = (6, 3)$,we get $\frac{a^2x}{6} + \frac{b^2y}{3} = a^2 + b^2$.
Since the normal passes through $(9, 0)$,we substitute $x = 9$ and $y = 0$:
$\frac{a^2(9)}{6} + 0 = a^2 + b^2$
$\frac{3a^2}{2} = a^2 + b^2$
$\frac{1}{2}a^2 = b^2 \Rightarrow a^2 = 2b^2$.
The eccentricity $e$ of the hyperbola is given by $e = \sqrt{1 + \frac{b^2}{a^2}}$.
Substituting $a^2 = 2b^2$:
$e = \sqrt{1 + \frac{b^2}{2b^2}} = \sqrt{1 + \frac{1}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$.

$A$ police car with a siren of frequency $8 \, kHz$ is moving with uniform velocity $36 \, km/hr$ towards a tall building which reflects the sound waves. The speed of sound in air is $320 \, m/s$. The frequency of the siren heard by the car driver is .... $kHz$.
A
$8.50$
B
$8.25$
C
$7.75$
D
$7.50$

Solution

(A) The frequency heard by the driver is due to the reflection of sound from the building. The building acts as a stationary source reflecting the sound.
First,the frequency $f_b$ received by the building is given by the Doppler effect formula for a moving source and stationary observer: $f_b = f \left( \frac{v}{v - v_s} \right)$,where $v = 320 \, m/s$,$v_s = 36 \, km/hr = 10 \, m/s$,and $f = 8 \, kHz$.
$f_b = 8 \left( \frac{320}{320 - 10} \right) = 8 \left( \frac{320}{310} \right) \, kHz$.
Now,the building acts as a stationary source reflecting this frequency $f_b$ back to the moving car (observer). The frequency $f'$ heard by the driver is: $f' = f_b \left( \frac{v + v_o}{v} \right)$,where $v_o = 10 \, m/s$.
$f' = \left( 8 \times \frac{320}{310} \right) \times \left( \frac{320 + 10}{320} \right) = 8 \times \frac{330}{310} \approx 8.516 \, kHz$.
Rounding to the nearest provided option,the correct frequency is $8.50 \, kHz$.

$5.6 \, \text{liter}$ of helium gas at $STP$ is adiabatically compressed to $0.7 \, \text{liter}$. Taking the initial temperature to be $T_1$,the work done in the process is
A
$\frac{9}{8} R T_1$
B
$\frac{3}{2} R T_1$
C
$\frac{15}{8} R T_1$
D
$\frac{9}{2} R T_1$

Solution

(A) For an adiabatic process,the relation between temperature and volume is $T_1 V_1^{\gamma-1} = T_2 V_2^{\gamma-1}$.
For helium (a monoatomic gas),the adiabatic index $\gamma = \frac{5}{3}$,so $\gamma - 1 = \frac{2}{3}$.
Given $V_1 = 5.6 \, \text{liter}$ and $V_2 = 0.7 \, \text{liter}$,we have $\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{5.6}{0.7} = 8$.
Substituting these into the relation: $T_2 = T_1 \left( \frac{V_1}{V_2} \right)^{\gamma-1} = T_1 (8)^{2/3} = T_1 (2^3)^{2/3} = T_1 (2^2) = 4 T_1$.
At $STP$,the number of moles $n = \frac{5.6 \, \text{liter}}{22.4 \, \text{liter/mol}} = 0.25 = \frac{1}{4} \, \text{mol}$.
The work done in an adiabatic process is $W = \frac{n R (T_1 - T_2)}{\gamma - 1}$.
Substituting the values: $W = \frac{(1/4) R (T_1 - 4 T_1)}{5/3 - 1} = \frac{(1/4) R (-3 T_1)}{2/3} = \frac{-3/4 R T_1}{2/3} = -\frac{9}{8} R T_1$.
The magnitude of work done on the gas is $\frac{9}{8} R T_1$.

$A$ $2\,\mu F$ capacitor is charged as shown in the figure. The percentage of its stored energy dissipated after the switch $S$ is turned to position $2$ is.....$\%$
Question diagram
A
$0$
B
$20$
C
$75$
D
$80$

Solution

(D) Initially,the $2\,\mu F$ capacitor is charged to a potential $V$. The initial energy stored is $U_i = \frac{1}{2} C_1 V^2$,where $C_1 = 2\,\mu F$.
When the switch $S$ is moved to position $2$,the capacitor $C_1$ is connected in parallel with an uncharged capacitor $C_2 = 8\,\mu F$.
The charge redistributes until both capacitors reach a common potential $V' = \frac{C_1 V}{C_1 + C_2} = \frac{2V}{2+8} = 0.2V$.
The final energy stored in the system is $U_f = \frac{1}{2} (C_1 + C_2) (V')^2 = \frac{1}{2} (10\,\mu F) (0.2V)^2 = 0.2 C_1 V^2$.
The energy dissipated as heat is $\Delta U = U_i - U_f = \frac{1}{2} C_1 V^2 - 0.2 C_1 V^2 = 0.3 C_1 V^2$.
The percentage of energy dissipated is $\frac{\Delta U}{U_i} \times 100 = \frac{0.3 C_1 V^2}{0.5 C_1 V^2} \times 100 = 60\%$.
Wait,using the standard formula for energy loss in charge sharing: $\Delta U = \frac{1}{2} \frac{C_1 C_2}{C_1 + C_2} (V_1 - V_2)^2$.
Here $V_1 = V$ and $V_2 = 0$,so $\Delta U = \frac{1}{2} \frac{2 \times 8}{2 + 8} (V - 0)^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.6 \times V^2 = 0.8 \times \frac{1}{2} C_1 V^2$.
Thus,the percentage of energy dissipated is $\frac{\Delta U}{U_i} \times 100 = \frac{C_2}{C_1 + C_2} \times 100 = \frac{8}{2+8} \times 100 = 80\%$.

$A$ $2\,\mu F$ capacitor is charged as shown in the figure. The percentage of its stored energy dissipated after the switch $S$ is turned to position $2$ is.....$\%$
Question diagram
A
$0$
B
$20$
C
$75$
D
$80$

Solution

(D) Initial energy stored in the $2\,\mu F$ capacitor when connected to voltage $V$ is:
$U_{i} = \frac{1}{2} C V^{2} = \frac{1}{2} (2 \times 10^{-6}) V^{2} = 10^{-6} V^{2} \text{ J}$.
When the switch $S$ is turned to position $2$,the $2\,\mu F$ capacitor is connected in parallel with the uncharged $8\,\mu F$ capacitor.
The total charge $Q$ remains conserved:
$Q = C_{1} V = (2 \times 10^{-6}) V$.
The common potential $V_{\text{common}}$ after redistribution is:
$V_{\text{common}} = \frac{Q}{C_{1} + C_{2}} = \frac{2 \times 10^{-6} V}{2 \times 10^{-6} + 8 \times 10^{-6}} = \frac{2V}{10} = \frac{V}{5}$.
The final energy stored in the system is:
$U_{f} = \frac{1}{2} (C_{1} + C_{2}) V_{\text{common}}^{2} = \frac{1}{2} (10 \times 10^{-6}) \left(\frac{V}{5}\right)^{2} = 5 \times 10^{-6} \times \frac{V^{2}}{25} = 0.2 \times 10^{-6} V^{2} \text{ J}$.
The energy dissipated is $\Delta U = U_{i} - U_{f} = 10^{-6} V^{2} - 0.2 \times 10^{-6} V^{2} = 0.8 \times 10^{-6} V^{2} \text{ J}$.
The percentage of energy dissipated is:
$\frac{\Delta U}{U_{i}} \times 100 = \frac{0.8 \times 10^{-6} V^{2}}{10^{-6} V^{2}} \times 100 = 80 \%$.

$A$ meter bridge is set up as shown,to determine an unknown resistance '$X$' using a standard $10 \, \Omega$ resistor. The galvanometer shows a null point when the tapping-key is at the $52 \, cm$ mark. The end corrections are $1 \, cm$ and $2 \, cm$ respectively for the ends $A$ and $B$. The determined value of '$X$' is $.......... \Omega$.
Question diagram
A
$10.2$
B
$10.6$
C
$10.8$
D
$11.1$

Solution

(B) In a meter bridge,the balance condition is given by $\frac{X}{R} = \frac{\ell_1 + \alpha}{\ell_2 + \beta}$,where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the end corrections at ends $A$ and $B$ respectively.
Given:
Unknown resistance = $X$
Standard resistance $R = 10 \, \Omega$
Null point position $\ell_1 = 52 \, cm$
Length of wire $\ell = 100 \, cm$,so $\ell_2 = 100 - 52 = 48 \, cm$
End correction at $A$,$\alpha = 1 \, cm$
End correction at $B$,$\beta = 2 \, cm$
Substituting the values in the formula:
$\frac{X}{10} = \frac{52 + 1}{48 + 2}$
$\frac{X}{10} = \frac{53}{50}$
$X = \frac{53 \times 10}{50} = \frac{53}{5} = 10.6 \, \Omega$
Therefore,the determined value of '$X$' is $10.6 \, \Omega$.

According to the kinetic theory of gases,which of the following statements are correct?
$A$. Collisions are always elastic.
$B$. Heavier molecules transfer more momentum to the wall of the container.
$C$. Only a small number of molecules have very high velocity.
$D$. Between collisions,the molecules move in straight lines with constant velocities.
A
$A, C, D$
B
$A, B, C$
C
$B, C, D$
D
$A, B, D$

Solution

(A) . According to the postulates of the kinetic theory of gases,collisions between molecules and with the walls of the container are perfectly elastic.
$B$. The momentum transferred to the wall is $\Delta p = 2mu$. Since momentum is proportional to mass $(m)$,heavier molecules transfer more momentum upon collision.
$C$. According to the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution,the fraction of molecules with very high or very low velocities is extremely small.
$D$. Between two successive collisions,molecules move in straight lines with constant velocity due to the absence of intermolecular forces.

Amongst the given options,the compound$(s)$ in which all the atoms are in one plane in all the possible conformations (if any),is (are):
$(A)$ $CH_2=CH-CH=CH_2$
$(B)$ $HC\equiv C-CH=CH_2$
$(C)$ $H_2C=C=O$
$(D)$ $H_2C=C=CH_2$
A
$(B,D)$
B
$(A,D)$
C
$(B,C)$
D
$(A,C)$

Solution

(C) To determine if all atoms lie in one plane,we analyze the hybridization and geometry of each molecule:
$(A)$ $CH_2=CH-CH=CH_2$ ($1,3$-butadiene): Due to rotation around the central $C-C$ single bond,it can exist in $s$-cis and $s$-trans conformations. While the $s$-cis form is planar,the molecule can rotate,and not all conformations are necessarily planar.
$(B)$ $HC\equiv C-CH=CH_2$ (but$-1-$en$-3-$yne): The $HC\equiv C-$ group is linear ($sp$-hybridized). The $-CH=CH_2$ group is planar ($sp^2$-hybridized). Since the linear group is attached to the planar group,the entire molecule remains planar.
$(C)$ $H_2C=C=O$ (ketene): The central carbon is $sp$-hybridized,but the terminal $CH_2$ group is $sp^2$-hybridized. The two $H$-atoms on the $CH_2$ group lie in the same plane as the $C=C=O$ backbone.
$(D)$ $H_2C=C=CH_2$ (allene): The central carbon is $sp$-hybridized. The two terminal $CH_2$ groups lie in perpendicular planes to each other,making the molecule non-planar.
Thus,in compounds $(B)$ and $(C)$,all atoms lie in the same plane.

An acyclic hydrocarbon $P$ with molecular formula $C_6H_{10}$ produces acetone as the only organic product through the following reaction sequence,where $Q$ is an intermediate organic compound:
$P (C_6H_{10})$ $\xrightarrow[(ii) NaBH_4/ethanol, (iii) dil. acid]{(i) dil. H_2SO_4/HgSO_4} Q$ $\xrightarrow[(ii) O_3, (iii) Zn/H_2O]{(i) conc. H_2SO_4 (catalytic amount), (-H_2O)} 2 CH_3COCH_3$
$1.$ The structure of compound $P$ is:
$(A)$ $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2-C \equiv C-H$
$(B)$ $H_3CH_2C-C \equiv C-CH_2CH_3$
$(C)$ $(CH_3)_2CH-C \equiv C-CH_3$
$(D)$ $(CH_3)_2CH-C \equiv C-H$
$2.$ The structure of compound $Q$ is:
$(A)$ $(CH_3)_2CH-CH(OH)-CH_2CH_3$
$(B)$ $(CH_3)_2CH-CH(OH)-CH_3$
$(C)$ $(CH_3)_2CH-CH_2CH(OH)CH_3$
$(D)$ $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH(OH)CH_2CH_3$
Identify the correct options for $1$ and $2$.
A
$(B, D)$
B
$(D, B)$
C
$(A, D)$
D
$(C, D)$

Solution

(B) Step $1$: Analyze the final product. The final product is $2$ moles of acetone $(CH_3COCH_3)$. This implies that the intermediate $Q$ must be $2,3$-dimethylbut-$2$-ene,which upon ozonolysis gives $2$ moles of acetone.
Step $2$: Analyze the conversion of $Q$ to acetone. $Q$ undergoes acid-catalyzed dehydration followed by ozonolysis. $2,3$-dimethylbut-$2$-ene is formed by the dehydration of $2,3$-dimethylbutan-$2$-ol. Thus,$Q$ is $(CH_3)_2CH-CH(OH)-CH_3$ (Option $B$).
Step $3$: Analyze the formation of $Q$ from $P$. $P$ $(C_6H_{10})$ reacts with $dil. H_2SO_4/HgSO_4$ to form a ketone,which is then reduced by $NaBH_4$ to an alcohol $Q$. For $Q$ to be $2,3$-dimethylbutan-$2$-ol,the ketone must be $3,3$-dimethylbutan-$2$-one. This ketone is formed from the hydration of $3,3$-dimethylbut-$1$-yne $(P)$. Thus,$P$ is $(CH_3)_2CH-C \equiv C-H$ (Option $D$).
Therefore,$P$ is $D$ and $Q$ is $B$.

Solution

(A) The structure of $Na_2S_4O_6$ is shown below:
$Na^+O^--S(=O)_2-S-S-S(=O)_2-O^-Na^+$
In $Na_2S_4O_6$ (sodium tetrathionate),there are two types of sulphur atoms:
$1$. The two terminal sulphur atoms are bonded to three oxygen atoms (two via double bonds and one via a single bond) and one sulphur atom. Their oxidation number is calculated as $+5$.
$2$. The two central sulphur atoms are bonded only to two other sulphur atoms. Since the electronegativity of identical atoms is the same,their oxidation number is $0$.
The difference in the oxidation numbers of the two types of sulphur atoms is $|5 - 0| = 5$.

The maximum number of electrons that can have principal quantum number,$n=3$,and spin quantum number,$m_s=-1/2$,is
A
$2$
B
$7$
C
$9$
D
$5$

Solution

(C) For a shell with principal quantum number $n$,the total number of orbitals is $n^2$.
For $n=3$,the total number of orbitals is $3^2 = 9$.
Each orbital can hold a maximum of $2$ electrons,one with $m_s = +1/2$ and one with $m_s = -1/2$.
Therefore,for $n=3$,there are $9$ orbitals,and each can accommodate exactly one electron with $m_s = -1/2$.
Thus,the maximum number of electrons with $n=3$ and $m_s = -1/2$ is $9$.

A

B
$5$
C
$6$
D
$7$

Solution

(A) The energy of the incident photon is given by $E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$.
Using $h = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s$,$c = 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s$,and $\lambda = 300 \times 10^{-9} \ m$:
$E = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8}{300 \times 10^{-9}} \ J = 6.626 \times 10^{-19} \ J$.
Converting to $eV$ by dividing by $1.602 \times 10^{-19} \ J/eV$:
$E = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-19}}{1.602 \times 10^{-19}} \approx 4.136 \ eV$.
Photoelectric effect occurs if the work function $\phi < E$. Thus,metals with $\phi < 4.136 \ eV$ will show the effect.
Comparing the given values: $Li \ (2.4)$,$Na \ (2.3)$,$K \ (2.2)$,and $Mg \ (3.7)$ are all less than $4.136 \ eV$.
Therefore,there are $4$ such metals.

To an evacuated vessel with a movable piston under an external pressure of $1 \ atm$,$0.1 \ mol$ of $He$ and $1.0 \ mol$ of an unknown compound (vapour pressure $0.68 \ atm$ at $0^{\circ} C$) are introduced. Considering ideal gas behaviour,the total volume (in litres) of the gases at $0^{\circ} C$ is close to:
A
$6$
B
$7$
C
$3$
D
$4$

Solution

(B) The total pressure inside the vessel is equal to the external pressure,which is $P_{total} = 1 \ atm$.
The unknown compound exerts a vapour pressure of $0.68 \ atm$. Since it is in equilibrium with its vapour,the partial pressure of the unknown compound is $P_{unknown} = 0.68 \ atm$.
The partial pressure of $He$ is $P_{He} = P_{total} - P_{unknown} = 1 \ atm - 0.68 \ atm = 0.32 \ atm$.
Using the ideal gas law for $He$: $PV = nRT$.
$0.32 \ atm \times V = 0.1 \ mol \times 0.0821 \ L \cdot atm \cdot K^{-1} \cdot mol^{-1} \times 273 \ K$.
$0.32 \times V = 2.24133$.
$V = \frac{2.24133}{0.32} \approx 7.004 \ L$.
Thus,the total volume is close to $7 \ L$.

The total number of alkenes possible by dehydrobromination of $3$-bromo-$3$-cyclopentylhexane using alcoholic $KOH$ is
A

B

C

D

Solution

(A) $3$-Bromo-$3$-cyclopentylhexane has three different types of $\beta$-hydrogens (not $\alpha$-hydrogens as $\alpha$ is the carbon attached to $Br$). These are marked as $(a)$,$(b)$,and $(c)$ in the structure.
Dehydrobromination leads to the formation of three structurally isomeric alkenes:
$1$. From $\beta$-hydrogen $(a)$: $CH_3CH_2CH=C(cyclopentyl)CH_2CH_3$ (exists as $E$ and $Z$ isomers).
$2$. From $\beta$-hydrogen $(b)$: $CH_3CH_2CH_2C(cyclopentyl)=CHCH_3$ (exists as $E$ and $Z$ isomers).
$3$. From $\beta$-hydrogen $(c)$: $CH_3CH_2CH_2C(cyclopentyl)=CHCH_2CH_3$ (this is the same as the product from $(b)$).
Wait,re-evaluating the structure: The $\beta$-carbons are the two $CH_2$ groups of the hexane chain and the $CH$ group of the cyclopentyl ring.
- Removal of $H$ from $CH_2$ (position $a$): $CH_3CH_2CH=C(cyclopentyl)CH_2CH_3$ ($E/Z$ isomers).
- Removal of $H$ from $CH_2$ (position $b$): $CH_3CH_2CH_2C(cyclopentyl)=CHCH_3$ ($E/Z$ isomers).
- Removal of $H$ from $CH$ (position $c$): $CH_3CH_2CH_2C(cyclopentyl)=C(CH_2CH_3)_2$ (this is a different alkene,no $E/Z$ isomerism).
Total alkenes = $2 (E/Z) + 2 (E/Z) + 1 = 5$.

Let $\vec{a}=\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}$,$\vec{b}=\hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and $\vec{c}=\hat{i}-\hat{j}-\hat{k}$ be three vectors. $A$ vector $\vec{v}$ in the plane of $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$,whose projection on $\vec{c}$ is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$,is given by
A
$\hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}$
B
$-3 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}-\hat{k}$
C
$3 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+3 \hat{k}$
D
$\hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k}$

Solution

(C) Let $\vec{v} = \lambda \vec{a} + \mu \vec{b}$.
Substituting the vectors $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$,we get $\vec{v} = \lambda(\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}) + \mu(\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}) = (\lambda + \mu)\hat{i} + (\lambda - \mu)\hat{j} + (\lambda + \mu)\hat{k}$.
The projection of $\vec{v}$ on $\vec{c}$ is given by $\frac{\vec{v} \cdot \vec{c}}{|\vec{c}|} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$.
Given $\vec{c} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} - \hat{k}$,we have $|\vec{c}| = \sqrt{1^2 + (-1)^2 + (-1)^2} = \sqrt{3}$.
Thus,$\frac{(\lambda + \mu)(1) + (\lambda - \mu)(-1) + (\lambda + \mu)(-1)}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$.
$\Rightarrow \lambda + \mu - \lambda + \mu - \lambda - \mu = 1$.
$\Rightarrow \mu - \lambda = 1$,or $\mu = \lambda + 1$.
Substituting $\mu$ back into $\vec{v}$,we get $\vec{v} = (2\lambda + 1)\hat{i} - \hat{j} + (2\lambda + 1)\hat{k}$.
For $\lambda = 1$,we get $\vec{v} = 3\hat{i} - \hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$,which matches option $C$.

Let $P = \{\theta : \sin \theta - \cos \theta = \sqrt{2} \cos \theta\}$ and $Q = \{\theta : \sin \theta + \cos \theta = \sqrt{2} \sin \theta\}$ be two sets. Then
A
$P \subset Q$ and $Q - P \neq \varnothing$
B
$Q \not \subset P$
C
$P \not \subset Q$
D
$P = Q$

Solution

(D) For set $P$,we have $\sin \theta - \cos \theta = \sqrt{2} \cos \theta$.
This simplifies to $\sin \theta = (\sqrt{2} + 1) \cos \theta$,which implies $\tan \theta = \sqrt{2} + 1$.
For set $Q$,we have $\sin \theta + \cos \theta = \sqrt{2} \sin \theta$.
This simplifies to $\cos \theta = (\sqrt{2} - 1) \sin \theta$,which implies $\tan \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} - 1}$.
Rationalizing the denominator,$\tan \theta = \frac{1(\sqrt{2} + 1)}{(\sqrt{2} - 1)(\sqrt{2} + 1)} = \frac{\sqrt{2} + 1}{2 - 1} = \sqrt{2} + 1$.
Since both sets $P$ and $Q$ represent the same condition $\tan \theta = \sqrt{2} + 1$,it follows that $P = Q$.
Therefore,option $(D)$ is the correct answer.

$\sqrt{3}y - x + 3 + 2\sqrt{3} = 0$
D
$\sqrt{3}y + x - 3 + 2\sqrt{3} = 0$

Solution

(B) Let the slope of line $L$ be $m$. The slope of the given line $\sqrt{3}x + y = 1$ is $m_1 = -\sqrt{3}$.
Given the angle between the lines is $60^{\circ}$,we have $\tan 60^{\circ} = \left| \frac{m - m_1}{1 + m \cdot m_1} \right|$.
$\sqrt{3} = \left| \frac{m - (-\sqrt{3})}{1 + m(-\sqrt{3})} \right| = \left| \frac{m + \sqrt{3}}{1 - \sqrt{3}m} \right|$.
Case $1$: $\frac{m + \sqrt{3}}{1 - \sqrt{3}m} = \sqrt{3}$ $\Rightarrow m + \sqrt{3} = \sqrt{3} - 3m$ $\Rightarrow 4m = 0$ $\Rightarrow m = 0$.
The equation of line $L$ is $y - (-2) = 0(x - 3) \Rightarrow y + 2 = 0$.
Case $2$: $\frac{m + \sqrt{3}}{1 - \sqrt{3}m} = -\sqrt{3}$ $\Rightarrow m + \sqrt{3} = -\sqrt{3} + 3m$ $\Rightarrow 2m = 2\sqrt{3}$ $\Rightarrow m = \sqrt{3}$.
The equation of line $L$ is $y - (-2) = \sqrt{3}(x - 3)$ $\Rightarrow y + 2 = \sqrt{3}x - 3\sqrt{3}$ $\Rightarrow y - \sqrt{3}x + 2 + 3\sqrt{3} = 0$.

The equilibrium $2 Cu^{+} \rightleftharpoons Cu + Cu^{2+}$ in aqueous medium at $25^{\circ} C$ shifts towards the left in the presence of
$(A)$ $NO_3^{-}$ $(B)$ $Cl^{-}$ $(C)$ $SCN^{-}$ $(D)$ $CN^{-}$
A
$(B, C, D)$
B
$(A, B, C)$
C
$(A, B, D)$
D
$(A, C, D)$

Solution

(A) The equilibrium $2 Cu^{+} \rightleftharpoons Cu + Cu^{2+}$ shifts to the left if the concentration of $Cu^{+}$ is increased or the concentration of $Cu^{2+}$ is decreased,or if $Cu^{+}$ is removed from the solution by precipitation or complexation.
$Cu(I)$ forms insoluble compounds such as $CuCl$,$CuCN$,and $CuSCN$.
When $Cl^{-}$,$CN^{-}$,or $SCN^{-}$ are added,they react with $Cu^{+}$ to form these insoluble precipitates,effectively removing $Cu^{+}$ from the equilibrium mixture.
According to Le Chatelier's principle,removing a product (or in this case,a reactant $Cu^{+}$) shifts the equilibrium to the left (backward direction) to counteract the change.
Therefore,the presence of $Cl^{-}$,$SCN^{-}$,and $CN^{-}$ shifts the equilibrium to the left.

In $1 \ L$ saturated solution of $AgCl$ $[K_{sp}(AgCl)=1.6 \times 10^{-10}]$,$0.1 \ mol$ of $CuCl$ $[K_{sp}(CuCl)=1.0 \times 10^{-6}]$ is added. The resultant concentration of $Ag^{+}$ in the solution is $1.6 \times 10^{-x}$. The value of $x$ is
A
$7$
B
$8$
C
$9$
D
$2$

Solution

(A) This is a case of simultaneous solubility of salts with a common ion $(Cl^{-})$.
Since $K_{sp}(CuCl) \gg K_{sp}(AgCl)$,the concentration of $Cl^{-}$ ions in the solution is primarily determined by the dissolution of $CuCl$.
For $CuCl \rightleftharpoons Cu^{+} + Cl^{-}$,let $s$ be the solubility.
$K_{sp}(CuCl) = s^2 = 1.0 \times 10^{-6} \Rightarrow s = 10^{-3} \ M$.
Thus,$[Cl^{-}] \approx 10^{-3} \ M$.
Now,for $AgCl \rightleftharpoons Ag^{+} + Cl^{-}$,the solubility product expression is:
$K_{sp}(AgCl) = [Ag^{+}][Cl^{-}] = 1.6 \times 10^{-10}$.
Substituting the value of $[Cl^{-}]$:
$[Ag^{+}] \times 10^{-3} = 1.6 \times 10^{-10}$.
$[Ag^{+}] = 1.6 \times 10^{-7} \ M$.
Comparing this with $1.6 \times 10^{-x}$,we get $x = 7$.

$1$

Solution

(B) The given compound is $3$-methylpentane,$CH_3CH_2CH(CH_3)CH_2CH_3$.
Monochlorination can occur at different positions:
$1$. Substitution at the terminal $CH_3$ group (equivalent to $CH_2CH_2Cl$): This creates a chiral center at the $C-3$ position. It forms a pair of enantiomers ($2$ isomers).
$2$. Substitution at the $CH_2$ group: This creates two chiral centers (at $C-2$ and $C-3$). This results in $2^2 = 4$ stereoisomers (two pairs of enantiomers).
$3$. Substitution at the $CH$ group: The resulting product is $3$-chloro-$3$-methylpentane,which is achiral ($1$ isomer).
$4$. Substitution at the $CH_3$ group attached to the $CH$ (i.e.,$CH_2Cl$): This creates a chiral center at the $C-3$ position ($1$ isomer).
Total isomers = $2 + 4 + 1 + 1 = 8$.

Solution

(A) . $CO_{2(s)} \rightarrow CO_{2(g)}$: This is a phase transition (sublimation). It is endothermic $(\Delta H > 0)$ and the entropy increases $(\Delta S > 0)$. Thus,$A \rightarrow p, r, s$.
$B$. $CaCO_{3(s)} \rightarrow CaO_{(s)} + CO_{2(g)}$: This is a chemical decomposition. It is endothermic $(\Delta H > 0)$ and the entropy increases $(\Delta S > 0)$ due to the formation of gas. Thus,$B \rightarrow r, s$.
$C$. $2H_{(g)} \rightarrow H_{2(g)}$: $A$ chemical bond is formed,which is exothermic $(\Delta H < 0)$. The system becomes more ordered,so entropy decreases $(\Delta S < 0)$. Thus,$C \rightarrow t$.
$D$. $P_{(\text{white, solid})} \rightarrow P_{(\text{red, solid})}$: This is a phase transition and an allotropic change. Red phosphorus is more stable and ordered than white phosphorus,so entropy decreases $(\Delta S < 0)$. Thus,$D \rightarrow p, q, t$.

A
$P \subset Q$ and $Q - P \neq \phi$
B
$Q \not \subset P$
C
$P \not \subset Q$
D
$P = Q$

Solution

(D) For set $P$: $\sin \theta - \cos \theta = \sqrt{2} \cos \theta$
$\Rightarrow \sin \theta = (\sqrt{2} + 1) \cos \theta$
$\Rightarrow \tan \theta = \sqrt{2} + 1$
For set $Q$: $\sin \theta + \cos \theta = \sqrt{2} \sin \theta$
$\Rightarrow \cos \theta = (\sqrt{2} - 1) \sin \theta$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} - 1} = \tan \theta$
$\Rightarrow \tan \theta = \frac{\sqrt{2} + 1}{(\sqrt{2} - 1)(\sqrt{2} + 1)} = \sqrt{2} + 1$
Since both sets $P$ and $Q$ represent the same set of values for $\theta$ satisfying $\tan \theta = \sqrt{2} + 1$,we have $P = Q$.

Let $\overline{a}=\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}$,$\overline{b}=\hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and $\overline{c}=\hat{i}-\hat{j}-\hat{k}$ be three vectors. $A$ vector $\overline{v}$ in the plane of $\overline{a}$ and $\overline{b}$,whose projection on $\overline{c}$ is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$,is given by
A
$\hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}$
B
$-3 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}-\hat{k}$
C
$3 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+3 \hat{k}$
D
$\hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k}$

Solution

(C) Given $\overline{a}=\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}$,$\overline{b}=\hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and $\overline{c}=\hat{i}-\hat{j}-\hat{k}$.
Since $\overline{v}$ lies in the plane of $\overline{a}$ and $\overline{b}$,we can write $\overline{v} = m\overline{a} + n\overline{b}$.
$\overline{v} = m(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}) + n(\hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}) = (m+n)\hat{i} + (m-n)\hat{j} + (m+n)\hat{k} \quad \dots(i)$
The projection of $\overline{v}$ on $\overline{c}$ is given by $\frac{\overline{v} \cdot \overline{c}}{|\overline{c}|} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$.
$|\overline{c}| = \sqrt{1^2 + (-1)^2 + (-1)^2} = \sqrt{3}$.
So,$\frac{(m+n)(1) + (m-n)(-1) + (m+n)(-1)}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$.
$m+n - m+n - m-n = 1 \implies n-m = 1 \implies n = m+1$.
Substituting $n = m+1$ into $(i)$:
$\overline{v} = (m+m+1)\hat{i} + (m-(m+1))\hat{j} + (m+m+1)\hat{k} = (2m+1)\hat{i} - \hat{j} + (2m+1)\hat{k}$.
For $m=1$,$\overline{v} = 3\hat{i} - \hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$,which matches option $C$.

A

B
tetrahedral,square planar and octahedral
C
square planar,tetrahedral and octahedral
D
octahedral,square planar and octahedral

Solution

(B) $Ni^{2+}$ has a $3d^8$ electronic configuration.
$1$. For $[NiCl_4]^{2-}$,$Cl^{-}$ is a weak field ligand,so it does not cause pairing of electrons. The hybridization is $sp^3$,resulting in a tetrahedral geometry.
$2$. For $[Ni(CN)_4]^{2-}$,$CN^{-}$ is a strong field ligand,which causes pairing of $3d$ electrons. The hybridization is $dsp^2$,resulting in a square planar geometry.
$3$. For $[Ni(H_2O)_6]^{2+}$,$H_2O$ is a ligand that forms an octahedral complex with $Ni^{2+}$ involving $sp^3d^2$ hybridization.
Thus,the shapes are tetrahedral,square planar,and octahedral,respectively. Therefore,option $B$ is correct.

Solution

(A) The reaction for path $(i)$ is: ${ }_{13}^{27} Al +{ }_2^4 \alpha \rightarrow{ }_{14}^{30} Si +{ }_1^1 p (X)$.
Here,$X$ is a proton $({ }_1^1 p)$ because the mass number and atomic number are conserved ($27+4 = 30+1$ and $13+2 = 14+1$).
The reaction for path $(ii)$ is: ${ }_{13}^{27} Al +{ }_2^4 \alpha \rightarrow{ }_{15}^{30} P +{ }_0^1 n (Y)$.
Here,$Y$ is a neutron $({ }_0^1 n)$ because the mass number and atomic number are conserved ($27+4 = 30+1$ and $13+2 = 15+0$).
The subsequent decay of phosphorus is: ${ }_{15}^{30} P \rightarrow{ }_{14}^{30} Si +{ }_{+1}^{0} e (Z)$.
Here,$Z$ is a positron $({ }_{+1}^{0} e)$ because the atomic number decreases by $1$.
Therefore,$X$ is proton,$Y$ is neutron,and $Z$ is positron.
Thus,the correct option is $A$.

Dissolving $120 \ g$ of urea (mol. wt. $60$) in $1000 \ g$ of water gave a solution of density $1.15 \ g / mL$. The molarity of the solution is (in $M$)
A
$1.78$
B
$2.00$
C
$2.05$
D
$2.22$

Solution

(C) Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved in per litre of solution.
Molarity,$M = \frac{n}{V}$
$n =$ number of moles of solute = mass $/$ molar mass
$V =$ volume of solution
Mass of urea = $120 \ g$
Molar mass of urea = $60 \ g / mol$
Mass of water = $1000 \ g$
Density of solution,$\rho = 1.15 \ g / mL$
$n = \frac{120}{60} = 2 \ mol$
Total mass of solution = $m_{solute} + m_{solvent} = 120 \ g + 1000 \ g = 1120 \ g$
Volume of solution,$V = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{density}} = \frac{1120 \ g}{1.15 \ g / mL} \approx 973.91 \ mL = 0.97391 \ L$
Molarity,$M = \frac{n}{V} = \frac{2 \ mol}{0.97391 \ L} \approx 2.05 \ M$
Hence,the correct option is $C$.

Question diagram
A
$(P)$
B
$(Q)$
C

D

Solution

(A) The reaction between $AgNO_3$ and $KCl$ is: $Ag^+(aq) + NO_3^-(aq) + K^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq) \rightarrow AgCl(s) + K^+(aq) + NO_3^-(aq)$.
Initially,the solution contains $K^+$ and $Cl^-$ ions. As $AgNO_3$ is added,$Ag^+$ ions react with $Cl^-$ ions to form $AgCl$ precipitate.
Since $AgCl$ is insoluble,the $Cl^-$ ions are replaced by $NO_3^-$ ions in the solution.
The ionic mobility of $Cl^-$ is higher than that of $NO_3^-$,so the conductance of the solution decreases until the equivalence point is reached.
After the equivalence point,adding more $AgNO_3$ increases the concentration of $Ag^+$ and $NO_3^-$ ions in the solution,which leads to an increase in the conductance.
Therefore,the graph shows a decrease followed by an increase,which corresponds to plot $(P)$.

$2-$($4$-bromobenzyloxy)isoindole
D
$2-$($4$-chloromethylphenoxy)isoindole

Solution

(A) The reaction shown is the first step of the Gabriel phthalimide synthesis.
Phthalimide reacts with $KOH$ to form potassium phthalimide,which acts as a nucleophile.
This nucleophile then undergoes an $S_N2$ reaction with the alkyl halide,$4-bromobenzyl chloride$ $(Br-C_6H_4-CH_2Cl)$.
In $S_N2$ reactions,the nucleophile attacks the carbon atom attached to the leaving group.
Since the $CH_2Cl$ group is more reactive towards $S_N2$ than the aryl bromide ($C-Br$ bond),the nitrogen of the phthalimide attacks the $CH_2$ carbon,displacing the $Cl^-$ ion.
Therefore,the product is $N-(4-bromobenzyl)phthalimide$.

$A$ decapeptide contains $10$ amino acid units,so it has $(10-1) = 9$ peptide bonds.
Upon complete hydrolysis,$9$ molecules of water are added.
Total weight of water added $= 9 \times 18 \ g/mol = 162 \ g/mol$.
Total weight of hydrolysis products $= 796 + 162 = 958 \ g$.
Total weight of glycine in the product $= \frac{47.0}{100} \times 958 \ g = 450.26 \ g \approx 450 \ g$.
Molecular weight of glycine $= 75 \ g/mol$.
Number of glycine units $= \frac{450 \ g}{75 \ g/mol} = 6$.

Among the following complexes $(K-P)$,
$K_3[Fe(CN)_6]$ $(K)$,$[Co(NH_3)_6]Cl_3$ $(L)$,$Na_3[Co(ox)_3]$ $(M)$,$[Ni(H_2O)_6]Cl_2$ $(N)$,$K_2[Pt(CN)_4]$ $(O)$ and $[Zn(H_2O)_6](NO_3)_2$ $(P)$,the diamagnetic complexes are
A
$K, L, M, N$
B
$K, M, O, P$
C
$L, M, O, P$
D
$L, M, N, O$

Solution

(C) $K \Rightarrow K_3[Fe(CN)_6], Fe^{3+} = 3d^5$ (has $5$ unpaired electrons). It is paramagnetic.
$L \Rightarrow [Co(NH_3)_6]Cl_3, Co^{3+} = 3d^6$. $NH_3$ is a strong field ligand,causing pairing. It is diamagnetic.
$M \Rightarrow Na_3[Co(ox)_3], Co^{3+} = 3d^6$. Oxalate $(ox^{2-})$ acts as a strong field ligand with $Co^{3+}$,causing pairing. It is diamagnetic.
$N \Rightarrow [Ni(H_2O)_6]Cl_2, Ni^{2+} = 3d^8$ (has $2$ unpaired electrons). It is paramagnetic.
$O \Rightarrow K_2[Pt(CN)_4], Pt^{2+} = 5d^8$. $CN^{-}$ is a strong field ligand and $5d$ orbitals have large splitting. It is diamagnetic.
$P \Rightarrow [Zn(H_2O)_6](NO_3)_2, Zn^{2+} = 3d^{10}$. All electrons are paired. It is diamagnetic.
Therefore,the diamagnetic complexes are $L, M, O, P$.

Passing $H_2S$ gas into a mixture of $Mn^{2+}$,$Ni^{2+}$,$Cu^{2+}$ and $Hg^{2+}$ ions in an acidified aqueous solution precipitates
A
$CuS$ and $HgS$
B
$MnS$ and $CuS$
C
$MnS$ and $NiS$
D
$NiS$ and $HgS$

Solution

(A) In an acidified aqueous solution,the concentration of $S^{2-}$ ions is very low due to the common ion effect of $H^+$ ions from the acid.
Only the sulphides of Group $II$ cations,such as $Cu^{2+}$ and $Hg^{2+}$,have a sufficiently low solubility product $(K_{sp})$ to precipitate under these conditions.
The sulphides of $Mn^{2+}$ and $Ni^{2+}$ (Group $III$ and $IV$ cations) have higher $K_{sp}$ values and remain in the solution.
Therefore,$CuS$ and $HgS$ are precipitated.
Hence,the correct option is $A$.

Consider the following cell reaction:
$2 Fe_{(s)} + O_{2_{(g)}} + 4 H_{(aq)}^{+} \rightarrow 2 Fe_{(aq)}^{2+} + 2 H_2O_{(l)} \quad E^{\circ} = 1.67 \ V$. At $[Fe^{2+}] = 10^{-3} \ M, P(O_2) = 0.1 \ atm$ and $pH = 3$,the cell potential at $25^{\circ} C$ is (in $V$)
A
$1.47$
B
$1.77$
C
$1.87$
D
$1.57$

Solution

(D) The Nernst equation for the given cell reaction is:
$E_{cell} = E^{\circ}_{cell} - \frac{0.0591}{n} \log Q$
Here,$n = 4$ (number of electrons transferred).
The reaction quotient $Q$ is given by:
$Q = \frac{[Fe^{2+}]^2}{P(O_2) \times [H^+]^4}$
Given $[Fe^{2+}] = 10^{-3} \ M$,$P(O_2) = 0.1 \ atm$,and $pH = 3$,so $[H^+] = 10^{-3} \ M$.
$Q = \frac{(10^{-3})^2}{0.1 \times (10^{-3})^4} = \frac{10^{-6}}{0.1 \times 10^{-12}} = \frac{10^{-6}}{10^{-13}} = 10^7$
Now,substitute the values into the Nernst equation:
$E_{cell} = 1.67 - \frac{0.0591}{4} \log(10^7)$
$E_{cell} = 1.67 - \frac{0.0591 \times 7}{4}$
$E_{cell} = 1.67 - 0.1034 \approx 1.57 \ V$

The freezing point (in ${}^{\circ}C$) of a solution containing $0.1 \ g$ of $K_3[Fe(CN)_6]$ (Mol. Wt. $329$) in $100 \ g$ of water $(K_f = 1.86 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1})$ is
A
$-2.3 \times 10^{-2}$
B
$-5.7 \times 10^{-2}$
C
$-5.7 \times 10^{-3}$
D
$-1.2 \times 10^{-2}$

Solution

(A) The dissociation of $K_3[Fe(CN)_6]$ is given by: $K_3[Fe(CN)_6] \rightarrow 3K^{+} + [Fe(CN)_6]^{3-}$.
Since $1 \ mol$ of $K_3[Fe(CN)_6]$ produces $4 \ mol$ of ions,the van't Hoff factor $i = 4$.
The formula for depression in freezing point is $\Delta T_f = i \times K_f \times m$.
Here,molality $m = \frac{w_2 \times 1000}{M_2 \times w_1} = \frac{0.1 \times 1000}{329 \times 100} = \frac{1}{329} \ mol \ kg^{-1}$.
$\Delta T_f = 4 \times 1.86 \times \frac{1}{329} \approx 0.0226 \ K \approx 0.023 \ K$.
Since the freezing point of pure water is $0 \ {}^{\circ}C$,the freezing point of the solution is $T_f = 0 - \Delta T_f = -0.023 \ {}^{\circ}C = -2.3 \times 10^{-2} \ {}^{\circ}C$.

Amongst the compounds given,the one that would form a brilliant colored dye on treatment with $NaNO_2$ in dil. $HCl$ followed by addition to an alkaline solution of $\beta$-naphthol is
A
Option A
B
Option B
C
Option C
D
Option D

Solution

(C) The reaction described is the azo coupling reaction,which is characteristic of primary aromatic amines.
Primary aromatic amines react with $NaNO_2$ and $HCl$ at $0-5 \ ^{\circ}C$ to form stable diazonium salts.
These diazonium salts then undergo electrophilic substitution (coupling) with electron-rich aromatic compounds like $\beta$-naphthol in an alkaline medium to form intensely colored azo dyes.
Among the given options:
$A$ is $N,N$-dimethylaniline (tertiary aromatic amine).
$B$ is $N$-methylaniline (secondary aromatic amine).
$C$ is $p$-toluidine (primary aromatic amine).
$D$ is benzylamine (primary aliphatic amine,which forms an unstable diazonium salt that decomposes to form alcohols).
Thus,$p$-toluidine $(C)$ is the correct compound that forms a stable diazonium salt and subsequently an azo dye.

The major product of the following reaction is
Question diagram
A
a hemiacetal
B
an acetal
C
an ether
D
an ester

Solution

(B) The reaction involves the acid-catalyzed addition of an alcohol $(RCH_2OH)$ to the double bond of $3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran$.
This reaction proceeds through the formation of a resonance-stabilized oxocarbenium ion intermediate.
The alcohol acts as a nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbon of the oxocarbenium ion.
After the loss of a proton $(H^+)$,the final product formed is a tetrahydropyranyl ether.
Since the product contains an alkoxy group attached to a carbon atom that is also bonded to another oxygen atom (part of the ring),it is classified as an acetal (specifically,a cyclic acetal).

The following carbohydrate is
Question diagram
A
a ketohexose
B
an aldohexose
C
an $\alpha$-furanose
D
an $\alpha$-pyranose

Solution

(B) The given structure is a six-membered pyranose ring.
At the anomeric carbon $(C1)$,the $-OH$ group is in the equatorial (up) position,which identifies it as the $\beta$-anomer.
Since the substituent at the anomeric carbon is a hydrogen atom $(-H)$ rather than a hydroxymethyl group $(-CH_2OH)$,it is an aldohexose (specifically $\beta$-$D$-glucopyranose).
Therefore,the correct option is $B$.

For the first order reaction $2 N_2O_{5(g)} \rightarrow 4 NO_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)}$,which of the following statements are correct?
$A.$ The concentration of the reactant decreases exponentially with time.
$B.$ The half-life of the reaction decreases with increasing temperature.
$C.$ The half-life of the reaction depends on the initial concentration of the reactant.
$D.$ The reaction proceeds to $99.6 \%$ completion in eight half-life durations.
A
$A, B, D$
B
$A, B, C$
C
$A, C, D$
D
$B, C, D$

Solution

(A) For a first-order reaction,the concentration at time $t$ is given by $C_t = C_0 e^{-kt}$,which shows exponential decay. Thus,statement $A$ is correct.
The half-life is $t_{1/2} = \frac{\ln 2}{k}$. Since the rate constant $k$ increases with temperature according to the Arrhenius equation,$t_{1/2}$ decreases as temperature increases. Thus,statement $B$ is correct.
For a first-order reaction,$t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{k}$,which is independent of the initial concentration $C_0$. Thus,statement $C$ is incorrect.
After $n$ half-lives,the remaining reactant is $C_t = \frac{C_0}{2^n}$. For $n = 8$,$C_t = \frac{C_0}{2^8} = \frac{C_0}{256}$.
Percentage completion = $\frac{C_0 - C_t}{C_0} \times 100 = \frac{C_0 - \frac{C_0}{256}}{C_0} \times 100 = (1 - \frac{1}{256}) \times 100 \approx 99.6 \%$. Thus,statement $D$ is correct.
Therefore,statements $A, B,$ and $D$ are correct.

$(i) \text{ with } HOOC-(CH_2)_4-COOH / \text{heat}$
$(A) X = COOCH_3, Y = H_2 / Ni / \text{heat}$
$(B) X = CONH_2, Y = H_2 / Ni / \text{heat}$
$(C) X = CONH_2, Y = Br_2 / NaOH$
$(D) X = CN, Y = H_2 / Ni / \text{heat}$
A
$(C, D)$
B
$(B, D)$
C
$(A, D)$
D
$(A, B)$

Solution

(A) To form a condensation polymer with adipic acid $(HOOC-(CH_2)_4-COOH)$,we need a diamine $(NH_2-(CH_2)_n-NH_2)$.
$1$. If $X = CONH_2$,the reaction with $Br_2 / NaOH$ (Hofmann bromamide degradation) gives $NH_2-(CH_2)_4-NH_2$. This is a diamine,which reacts with adipic acid to form a polyamide (Nylon-$6$,$4$).
$2$. If $X = CN$,the reaction with $H_2 / Ni / \text{heat}$ (catalytic hydrogenation) gives $NH_2-(CH_2)_6-NH_2$. This is a diamine,which reacts with adipic acid to form a polyamide (Nylon-$6$,$6$).
Both $(C)$ and $(D)$ result in the formation of a diamine,which can undergo condensation polymerization with the given dicarboxylic acid. Thus,the correct pairs are $(C)$ and $(D)$.

A
$4$
B
$5$
C

Solution

(A) $PCl_5$ reacts with compounds containing oxygen to form $POCl_3$ under specific conditions. Let us analyze each compound:
$1$. $O_2$: Does not react with $PCl_5$.
$2$. $CO_2$: Does not react with $PCl_5$.
$3$. $SO_2$: $PCl_5 + SO_2 \rightarrow POCl_3 + SOCl_2$. (Reacts)
$4$. $H_2O$: $PCl_5 + H_2O \rightarrow POCl_3 + 2HCl$. (Reacts with limited water)
$5$. $H_2SO_4$: $2PCl_5 + H_2SO_4 \rightarrow 2POCl_3 + SO_2Cl_2 + 2HCl$. (Reacts)
$6$. $P_4O_{10}$: $6PCl_5 + P_4O_{10} \rightarrow 10POCl_3$. (Reacts)
Thus,the compounds that react to give $POCl_3$ are $SO_2, H_2O, H_2SO_4$,and $P_4O_{10}$. The total number of such compounds is $4$.

The volume (in $mL$) of $0.1 \ M$ $AgNO_3$ required for complete precipitation of chloride ions present in $30 \ mL$ of $0.01 \ M$ solution of $[Cr(H_2O)_5Cl]Cl_2$, as silver chloride is close to
A
$6$
B
$7$
C
$8$
D
$9$

Solution

(A) The complex $[Cr(H_2O)_5Cl]Cl_2$ dissociates in water to release $2$ moles of ionizable $Cl^-$ ions per mole of the complex.
Number of millimoles of $[Cr(H_2O)_5Cl]Cl_2 = 30 \ mL \times 0.01 \ M = 0.3 \ mmol$.
Since each mole of complex provides $2$ moles of $Cl^-$, the total millimoles of $Cl^- = 0.3 \times 2 = 0.6 \ mmol$.
For complete precipitation, $Ag^+$ reacts with $Cl^-$ in a $1:1$ molar ratio $(Ag^+ + Cl^- \rightarrow AgCl(s))$.
Therefore, millimoles of $AgNO_3$ required $= 0.6 \ mmol$.
Using the formula $M = \frac{n}{V(in \ L)}$ or $M = \frac{mmol}{V(in \ mL)}$, we have $0.1 = \frac{0.6}{V}$.
$V = \frac{0.6}{0.1} = 6 \ mL$.
