Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: ( 41 to 45):

Nucleophilic substitution reactions are of two types; substitution nucleophilic bimolecular (SN2) and
substitution nucleophilic unimolecular (SN1) depending on molecules taking part in determining the rate of
reaction. Reactivity of alkyl halide towards SN1 and SN2 reactions depends on various factors such as steric
hindrance, stability of intermediate or transition state and polarity of solvent. SN2 reaction mechanism is
favoured mostly by primary alkyl halide or transition state and polarity of solvent, SN2 reaction mechanism
is favoured mostly by primary alkyl halide then secondary and then tertiary. This order is reversed in case
of SN1 reactions.

II. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions :
The sequence of bases along the DNA and RNA chain establishes its primary structure which controls the
specific properties of the nucleic acid. An RNA molecule is usually a single chain of ribose-containing
nucleotide. On the basis of X-ray analysis of DNA, J.D., Watson and F.H.C. CYST (shared noble prize in 1962)
proposed a three dimensional secondary structure for DNA. ONA molecule is a long and highly complex,
spirally twisted, double helix, ladder like structure. The two polynucleotide chains or strands are linked up
by hydrogen bonding between the nitrogenous base molecules of their nucleotide monomers. Adenine
(purine) always links with thymine (pyrimidine) with the help of two hydrogen bonds and guanine (purine)
with cytosine (pyrimidine) with the help of three hydrogen bonds. Hence, the two strands extend in
opposite directions, i.e., are antiparallel and complimentary.
In these questions (Q. No. 46-50), a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given.
Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
(b) Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
(c) Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement
(d) Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
Q.46 Assertion - DNA molecules and RNA molecules are found in the nucleus of a cell.
Reason : There are two types of nitrogenous bases, purines and pyrimidines. Adenine (A) and
Guanine (G) are substituted purines; cytokine (C), thymine (T) arid uracil (U) are
substituted pyrimidines.

Q.47 Assertion: In both DNA and RNA, heterocyclic base and phosphate ester linkages are at
C- 1’ and C-5’ respectively of the sugar molecule.
Reason : Nucleotides and nucleosides mainly differ from each other in presence of phosphate units.

Q.48 Assertion :- The backbone of RNA molecule is a linear chain consisting of an alternating units
of heterocylic base, D-ribose and a phosphate.
Reason : The segment of RNA which acts as the instruction manual for the synthesis of protein is
ribose.

Q.50 Assertion: The two strands of DNA are complementary to each other.
Reason: The hydrogen bonds are formed between specific pairs of bases.

III. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions :
Boiling point or freezing point of liquid solution would be affected by the dissolved solids in the liquid
phase. A soluble solid in solution has the effect of raising its boiling point and depressing its freezing point.
The addition of non-volatile substances to a solvent decreases the vapor pressure and the added solute
particles affect the formation of pure solvent crystals. According to many researches the decrease in
freezing point directly correlated to the concentration of solutes dissolved in the solvent. This
phenomenon is expressed as freezing point depression and it is useful for several applications such as
freeze concentration of liquid food and to find the molar mass of an unknown solute in the solution. Freeze
concentration is a high quality liquid food concentration method where water is removed by forming ice
crystals. This is done by cooling the liquid food below the freezing point of the solution. The freezing point
depression is referred as a colligative property and it is proportional to the molar concentration of the
solution (m), along with vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, and osmotic pressure. These are
physical characteristics of solutions that depend only on the identity of the solvent and the concentration
of the solute.
Answer the following MCQs by choosing the most appropriate options:

Q.51 When a non volatile solid is added to pure water it will-

(a) boil above 100ºC and freeze above 0ºC. (b) boil below 100ºC and freeze above 0ºC.
(c) boil above 100ºC and freeze below 0ºC. (d) boil below 100ºC and freeze below 0ºC.

Q.52 Colligative properties are

(a) dependent only on the concentration of the solute and independent of the solvent’s and solute’s
identity.
(b) dependent only on the identity of the solute and the concentration of the solute and independent of
the solvent’s identity.
(c) dependent on the identity of the solvent and solute and thus on the concentration of the solute.
(d) dependent only on the identity of the solvent and the concentration of the solute and independent of
the solute’s identity.

Q.53. Assume three samples of juices A, B and C have glucose as the only sugar present in them. The
