SECTION-III
Comprehension Type
This section contains 2 groups of questions. Each group has 3 multiple choice question based on a paragraph. Each question has 4 choices (A), (B), (C) and (D) for its answer, out of which ONLY ONE is correct.
Paragraph for Question Nos. 13 to 15
p-Amino-N, N-dimethylaniline is added to a strongly acidic solution of X. The resulting solution is treated with a few drops of aqueous solution of Y to yield blue coloration due to the formation of methylene blue. Treatment of the aqueous solution of Y with the reagent potassium hexacyanoferrate (II) leads to the formation of an intense blue precipitate. The precipitate dissolves on excess addition of the reagent. Similarly, treatment of the solution of Y with the solution of potassium hexacyanoferrate (III) leads to a brown coloration due to the formation of Z.
13. The compound X is
(A) NaNO3
(B) NaCl
(C) Na2SO4
(D) Na2S
14. The compound Y is
(A) MgCl2

(B) Fe[e(CN)6]
(C) Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3
(D) K2Zn3[Fe(CN)6]2
Paragraph for Question Nos. 16 to 18
A carbonyl compound P, which gives positive iodoform test, undergoes reaction with MeMgBr followed by dehydration to give an olefin Q. Ozonolysis of Q leads to a dicarbonyl compound R, which undergoes intramolecular aldol reaction to give predominantly S.

SECTION – IV
Matrix – Match Type
This section contains 2 questions. Each question contains statements given in two columns, which have to be matched. The statements in Column I are labelled A, B, C and D, while the statements in Column II are labelled p, q, r, s and t. Any given statement in Column I can have correct matching with ONE OR MORE statement(s) in Column II. The appropriate bubbles corresponding to the answers to these questions have to be darkened as illustrated in the following example:
If the correct matches are A – p, s and t; B – q and r; C – p and q; and D – s and t; then choose the correct answer.
19. Match each of the diatomic molecules in Column I with its property/properties in Column II.
(A) (A – s, q, r) ; (B – p, r) ; (C – s, t) ; (D – s, p, t)
