This question is based on dehydration of alcohol by using conc.H2SO4/Δ or E1 (unimolecular

elimination reaction)

Solution:

(1)

(2)
(3)

(4)
(5)

(6)

(7)

So, reaction 1, 2, 3 & 4 give aromatic compounds.

Final Answer: 4

49)
 PbCl2 ⇌ Pb2+ + 2Cl–
Ksp = 4s3 = 4 × 10–6
s = 10–2 M
ΔTf = ikf.m
i = 3, kf = 2 K. kg/mol

ΔTf = 3 × 2 × 10–2 = 6 × 10–2 =

D=6

50) Explain question : To identify number of hydroxyl groups in final product (Q).

Concept :
This question is based on the dehydration of alcohols to form alkenes and the hydroxylation of
alkenes using dilute alkaline KMnO₄.

Solution :
Step 1: This step is the dehydration of an alcohol, which follows an E1 mechanism.
Step-2: The hydroxylation of alkenes by KMnO4 is a syn-dihydroxylation reaction, which is a
type of oxidation reaction that converts a carbon-carbon double bond into a vicinal diol (1 1, 2-
diol) by adding two hydroxyl (–OH) groups to the same side of the double bond.

Final answer : 4

51)

Ttotal number of = 10 × 9 × 5 = 450

ways to open lock
unsuccessful attempt = 450 – 1
52) The possible arrangements of teachers & students can be as follows :
(i) T S S T S S T S S
(ii) S T S S T S S T S
(iii) S S T S S T S S T
Hence total number of ways = 3.(3!)6! = 18 × 6 !

53) 7C3 – 3 = 32

54) Alphabatical order of letters are A,E,H,J,R,S

Total number of words before the word RAJESH is 493

55) Total number of 6-digit numbers in which only and all the five digits 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 is

56) Total cases =

Favourable cases = –

∴ Probability =

57) P(T) = P, P(H) = 1 – P

∴ Required probability = P(T) or P(HHT) or P(HHHHT)...........
= P+(1–P)2P+(1–P)4 P+......

⇒ ⇒ ⇒ P = 1/2

58)

m=

⇒ P=
59)

60)

Also, P(1) + P(2) + P(3) +P(4) + P(5) + P(6) = 1

K=

⇒ P(3) =

61) |A| + + .......∞

= |A| + ....

62)
 ⇒ > (detA)256

hence minimum value of P is 9

63) B–3AB3 = B–2 (B–1AB) B2

= B–2 (A3) B2 [∵ B–1 AB = A3] = B–1 (B–1 A3B)B
= B–1 (A3)3B (by given property)
= B–1A9B = (A9)3 = A27

64) P4 = (I – P)(I – P)
= I – 2P + P2 = 2I – 3P
P6 = (2I – 3P)(I – P)
= 5I – 8P
⇒

65)

since a2 + b2 + c2 = 0

|Adj(Adj.A)| = 32 λa8b8c8
⇒ |A|(n–1)2 = 32 λa8b8c8
⇒ |A|4 = 32 λa8b8c8
⇒ (4a2b2c2)4 = 32 λa8b8c8

⇒ 32λ = 256 ⇒ λ = 8 (∴ a, b, c ≠ 0)

66)

Δ1 is a cofactor of Δ2
So, Δ1 =
Δ1Δ2 =

67) =0
bc – (4ac – 4ba) + a (2c – 3b) = 0
bc + ab – 2ac = 0

b=
a, b, c → H.P.

68) d1 = d2 = d3 = 0 ⇒ D1 = D2 = D3 = 0

D= =0
⇒ λ (λ + 1) + (–2) = 0
⇒ λ2 + λ – 2 = 0
⇒ λ = –2, 1
So, quadratic equation is x2 + x – 2 = 0

69) For any square matrix A, the matrix A – AT is skew symmetric also ⇒ (A – AT)5 and (A –AT)
are skew symmetric matrix of order 3.
⇒ |A – AT|5 + |A – AT|3 = 0
(∵ |AT – A| = |A – AT| and |(A – AT)5|)

70) Method-I : divided by λ4 and take

use C3 → C3 - C1

P=
Method-II : Applying R1 → R1-R2 ; R2 → R2-R3

after expansion,
coefficient of λ is (–4)
4

71)
Which is divisible by

72) x1 = 4p, x2 = 4q+1, x3 = 4r+2

4p + 4q + 4r + 3 = 35
p+q+r=8
p ≥ 0, q ≥ 0, r ≥ 0

73) Let there are n men participants. Then the no of games that men play between themselves
is
2 × nC2 and the no. of games that the men played with the women is 2 × (2n)
∴ 2 × nC2 – 2 × 2n = 66 ⇒ n = 11
∴ Total [Link] participants=11men+2 women = 13

74) Case-I I II III IV

Required probability P =

75) P (hitting the target at least once) > 0.99

⇒ ⇒ ⇒ 4n > 100
so minimum value of n to satisfy the inequality is 4.
