24. The straight segment of the wire produces no magnetic field at C. Also, the fields from the two semi-
circular loops cancel at C (by symmetry). Therefore, B at center C = 0.
Hence, the correct option is (C).
27.
Since these fundamental frequencies are same, so should be corresponding wavelengths.
01 02 ;2L1 4L2 ; L2 L1 / 2
Hence, the correct option is (C).
29. According to the given figure, the current is flowing clockwise this means the charge particle electron
is also moving clockwise.
At any point on the circular loop the direction of velocity of a charge (electron here) is tangent to the loop
at that point and the direction of magnetic field is into the plane of the paper. Therefore applying the
right-hand rule, the direction of the force will be perpendicular to both velocity and magnetic field which
will be outward direction.
Thus, the circular loop will expand under the influence of this magnetic force.
Hence, the correct option is (B).

31. The oxidation states of Mn in MnO4 , MnO4 and MnO4 are +7, +6 and + 5 respectively. Thus, the
sum of their oxidation states is 18.
Hence, the correct option is (C).
32. The reaction sequence in option (A), direct alkylation followed by bromination is not a proper method
for adding bromine at meta-position to the ethyl group in benzene ring because alkyl group is ortho, para
directing. It will require the presence of a group on benzene ring which is meta directing. Also, direct
alkylation will give polyalkylated benzene ring, so we should avoid it for monoalkylation.
In the reaction sequence in option (B), isomers of 1-bromo-3-ethyl benzene would be produced because
bromine shows +R effect due to which it is ortho, para-directing group.
The sequence which will give good yield is given in option (C).
In the reaction sequence in option (D), NO2 group is deactivating (more than COCH3) when attached
with benzene ring, so, Friedel Craft alkylation is not possible in the presence of such a highly deactivating
group.
Hence, the correct option is (C).
33. The element having atomic number (Z 1) is a halogen and has the highest electronegativity in that
period.
Hence, the correct option is (A).
35.
The Si-O-Si skeleton is protected by water repelling alkyl groups that orient themselves towards the
surface creating a water proof structure, like an alkane.
Option (A) is incorrect as Si has vacant 3d orbital.
Option (C) is incorrect as there is no relation between chain length and water repelling characteristics.
Hence, the correct option is (B).
36. Reactivity of alcohols towards HCl is decided by formation of more stable carbocation. Greater the
stability of carbocation, more will be the reactivity.
Among the given four alcohols, (IV) makes the most stable carbocation as it is benzylic carbocation
which is resonance stabilized. Alcohols (I), (II) and (III), all form secondary carbocations, of which that
formed by (III) is most stable due to positive inductive effect of two methyl groups. The carbocation
formed by (II) is more stable than that from (I) due to lower negative inductive effect of fluoro group.
From the above observations the correct order of formation of stable carbocation is the same as the
reactivity towards HCl. Thus, the order is
37.

40. The elementary reaction is the simplest form of the reaction, and rate of these reactions is directly
proportional to the concentration of species participating in the reaction.
However, the probability of colliding more than 3 species at a time is very low, so, an order > 3 is not
possible in this case.
In elementary reactions, 1, 2, or 3 species can participate at a moment. Thus, order = 1, 2, or 3 for the
elementary reaction.
Zero and fractional orders are not possible for elementary reactions, as these orders imply a complex
reaction.
Hence, the correct option is (C).

reduced and Al will be oxidized in the cell reaction.
The Al electrode will work as anode and copper electrode will work as cathode. Since Al is oxidized at
anode, its mass will decrease on withdrawing electricity from the cell. Therefore,

4f and 5d.
Hence, the correct option is (C).
49. N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS) is frequently used to brominate allylic positions because it allows a
radical substitution reaction to be carried out without subjecting the reactant to a relatively high
concentration of Br2 that could add to its double bond.
Carbon atoms at positions 1, 3 and 4 are allylic carbons. The carbon atom at position 5 is not allylic since
it becomes acidic due to presence of carbonyl carbon at the alpha position.
Hence, the correct option is (D).
52. The reaction exhibits a heterogeneous equilibrium, so, solid state species would not contribute to the
equilibrium constant.
2NaHSO3 (s) Na 2SO3 (s) H2O(g) SO2 (g)
On the product side, there are SO2 and H2O gases which contribute to the equilibrium constant. Any
factor that changes the concentration of these gases will affect the equilibrium. Therefore, addition of
water vapor and increasing the volume of vessel will affect the equilibrium.
Hence, the correct option is (C).
54. For option (A): The molecules have plane of symmetry, hence, they are optically inactive and both
are identical.
For option (B): In cis and trans- decalin, the configuration around one carbon atom is changed, hence,
they are diastereomers.
In option (C): The configuration around all chiral carbons is inverted hence they are enantiomer.
and
In option (D): Molecule has a plane of symmetry, hence, it is optically inactive meso isomer and both
are identical
55. In oxoacids, acidity depends on the electronegativity of central atom and the number of oxygen atoms
attached.
If central atom is more electronegative, then its acid strength is more and presence of more oxygen atoms
causes more acidity.
In the second option, HClO3 contains more oxygen atoms than HClO2, so HClO3 is more acidic.
(A) HSeO3 < HBrO3 (B) HClO3 > HClO2 (C) H3AsO4 < H3PO4 (D) H2CO3 < HNO3
Hence, the correct option is (B).
