Hence, both statements are true.

2. f ( x) is defined When x12  x9  x 4  x  1  0

 ( x8  1) x( x 3  1)  1  0
If x  1 or x  1 then above is true.
If 1  x  0 the above holds.
If 0  x  1 , x12  x( x8  1)  x 4  1  0
Because x4  1  x8  1 and so x 4  1  x( x8  1)

CHEMISTRY
51. For tri or higher substituted benzene derivatives, the compounds are named by
identifying substituent, positions on the ring by following the lowest locant rule.
Substituent of the base compound is assigned number 1 and then the direction of
numbering is chosen such that the next substituent gets the lowest number. The
substituents appear in the name in alphabetical order.

52. During incomplete combustion of alkanes with insufficient amount of air or dioxygen
carbon black is formed which is used in the manufacture of ink, printer ink, black
pigments and as filters. Thus,

53. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) is an another type of adsorption which involves
separation of substances of a mixture over a thin layer of an adsorbent coated on a
glass plate.
A thin layer of an adsorbent is spread over a glass plate and glass plate is placed in an
eluant. As eluant rises, components of the mixture move up along with the eluant to
different distances depending on their degree of adsorption and separation takes
place. Therefore, this TLC technique will give best results in identifying the different
types of ink used at different places in the documents

55. Presence of electron withdrawing group on phenols, increases its acidic strength. So,

both compounds i.e., p-nitrophenol (II) and m-nitrophenol (IV) are stronger acid than
(I). If this ¾ NO2 group is present at p-position, then it exerts both - I and ¾ R effect
but if it is present at meta position, then it exerts only - I effect. Therefore,
p-nitrophenol is much stronger acid then m-nitrophenol.
On the other hand, presence of electron releasing group on phenol, decreases its
acidic strength. If ¾ OCH3 group is present at meta position, it will not exert + R effect
but exert - I effect.
But, if it is present at para position, then it will exert + R effect. Therefore, m-methoxy
phenol is more acidic than p-methoxy phenol.
56. Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of
assertion.
According to Huckel rule Aromaticity is shown by compounds possessing following
characteristics
(i) Compound must be planar and cyclic
(ii) Complete delocalisation of π electrons in the ring
(iii) Presence of conjugated  4n+2   electrons in the ring where n is an integer
 n  0,1, 2,... cyclo octatetraene (given) has a tub like structure. It loses planarity.
No. of πe− delocalised = 8. and n is not integer. Hence, cycloctatetraene is a
non-aromatic compound.

57. Phenol is also known as, carbolic acid' cannot be considered as aromatic alcohol. It is
quite separate branch of compound called phenols. So, compound (A) i.e., phenol
and compound (D) i.e., a derivative of phenol cannot be considered as aromatic
alcohol.
On the other hand, compound (B) and (C), - OH group is bonded to sp3 hybridised
carbon which inturn is bonded to benzene ring.

59. Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of
assertion. N-ethylbenzene is soluble in alkali because hydrogen attached to nitrogen in
sulphonamide is strongly acidic and forms a salt during reaction between these two.
60. DNA contains following four bases (a) adenine (A) (b) thymine (T) (c) guanine (G)
(d) cytosine (C). It does not contain uracil.

65. (b) Butanal, 3 – pentanone, Pentanal and 3-pentanol will not give iodoform reaction

 
due to absence of CH 3CO - and  CH3CH  OH   groups.

66. Vanillin, with its phenolic – OH group, is acidic enough to react with NaOH, which is a
strong base. It also reacts with Tollen’s reagent due to presence of aldehyde group.
Vanillin does not undergo self-aldol condensation due to the absence of an acidic –
hydrogen atom, which is necessary for the reaction to occur,

67.
So, statement 1 is true but statement 2 is false.
68. Stronger base has stable conjugate acid

First one is less basic because lone pairs of electrons are in conjugation with double
bond and hence have less donating power as compare to IV.
