1. Correct choice: (D)
The correct stability order of the given species is (I)>(III)>(II)>(IV).
Structure (I) is stabilized by resonance and hyperconjugation due to 6 α-H atoms.
Structure (III) is stabilized by resonance and hyperconjugation due to 3 α-H atoms. Structure
(II) is stabilized by hyperconjugation due to 5 α-H atoms. Structure (IV) is stabilized by
hyperconjugation due to 2 α-H atoms.
2. Correct choice: (A)

Cellulose is a polymer of β(D) glucose. The product cellulose triacetate should have
three acetate substituents in each of is repeat unit.
3. Correct choice: (C)

CuF2 is coloured because Cu2+ ion has one unpaired electron in the 3d subshell. Rest of
the compounds are not coloured because Cu+ present in each compound has completely filled
3d subshell.
5. Correct choice: (B)

The hybridization of Ni in [Ni(CO)4] is sp3 and in [Ni(CN)4]2- is dsp2.
Tetraamminenickel(II)-tetrachloronickelate(II)
I = 10 × 10-3 = 10-2 amp
Q = 0.01 × 2F = 0.02 F = 0.02 × 96500 C
t = Q/t = (0.02*96500)/10-2 = 19.3 × 104 sec.

Those surfactant molecules will be able to form associated colloids (micelles) readily
which have greater hydrophobic interactions. Thus critical micellar concentration (CMC) will
be lowest for such surfactant molecules. The hydrophobic end is biggest in CH3(CH2)15N+
(CH3)3Br-.
Ksp of MX = 4.0 × 10-8
Solubility of MX = (4.0 × 10-8)1/2 = 2 × 10-4 M
Ksp of MX2 = 3.2 × 10-14
Solubility of MX2 = (3.2 * 10-4 / 4 )1/3 = 2 × 10-5 M
Ksp of M3X - 2.7 × 10-15
Solubility of M3X = (2.7 * 10-15 / 27 )1/4 = 10-4 M.
=> The decreasing order of their solubilities MX > M3X > MX2.
STATEMENT-1 is false because the coupling of diazonium salt with

b-naphthol gives orange red coloured precipitate. STATEMENT-2 is true.
[Fe(H2O)5NO]SO4 has ligand NO in +1 oxidation state and metal Fe in +1 state. Since
Fe+ has 3 unpaired electrons, the complex is paramagnetic. STATAMENT-2 is true and is the
correct explanation of STATEMENT-1.
The two geometrical isomers of [M(NH3)4CI2] are optically inactive as both of them
have plane of symmetry. The trans isomer has C2 and C4 axes of symmetry whereas the cis
isomer has C2 axis of symmetry. A molecules may be optically active even if it has axis of
symmetry. Both the statements are true but the STATEMENT-2 is not the correct explanation
of STATEMENT-1.

Both the statements are true and STATEMENT-2 is the correct explanation of
STATEMENT-1.
