Paragraph:
\(RCONH _2\) is converted into \(RNH _2\) by means of Hofmann bromamide degradation.

In this reaction, \(R \mathrm{CONHBr}\) is formed from which this reaction has derived its name. Electron donating group at phenyl activates the reaction. Hofmann degradation reaction is an intramolecular reaction.
Question:
How can the conversion of (i) to (ii) be brought about?
- A \(\mathrm{KBr}\)
- B \(\mathrm{KBr}+\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{ONa}\)
- C \(\mathrm{KBr}+\mathrm{KOH}\)
- D \(\mathrm{Br}_2+\mathrm{KOH}\)

- Paragraph:
If a continuous \(f\) defined on the real line \(R\), assume positive and negative values in \(R\), then the equation \(f(x)=0\) has a root in \(R\). For example, if it is known that a continuous function \(f\) on \(R\) is positive at some point and its minimum values is negative, then the equation \(f(x)=0\) has a root in \(R\).
Consider \(f(x)=k e^x-x\) for all real \(x\), where \(k\) is real constant.Question:

A thermal power plant produces electric power of \(600 \mathrm{~kW}\) at \(4000 \mathrm{~V}\), which is to be transported to a place \(20 \mathrm{~km}\) away from the power plant for consumers' usage. It can be transported either directly with a cable of large current carrying capacity or by using a combination of step-up and step-down transformers at the two ends. The drawback of the direct transmission is the large energy dissipation. In the method using transformers, the dissipation is much smaller. In this method, a step-up transformer is used at the plant side so that the current is reduced to a smaller value. At the consumers' end, a step-down transformer is used to supply power to the consumers at the specified lower voltage. It is reasonable to assume that the power cable is purely resistive and the transformers are ideal with a power factor unity. All the currents and voltages mentioned are rms values.
Question :
In the method using the transformers, assume that the ratio of the number of turns in the primary to that in the secondary in the step-up transformer is \(1: 10\). If the power to the consumers has to be supplied at \(200 \mathrm{~V}\), the ratio of the number of turns in the primary to that in the secondary in the step-down transformer isJEE Advanced 2013 Medium - Internal bisector of \(\angle A\) of \(\triangle A B C\) meets side \(B C\) at \(D\).
