- A One phenyl group is replaced by a methyl group.
- B One phenyl group is replaced by a para-methoxyphenyl group.
- C Two phenyl groups are replaced by two para-methoxyphenyl groups.
- D No structural change is made to X.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Two phenyl groups are replaced by two para-methoxyphenyl groups.
Step-by-step Solution

JEE Advanced 2011 Medium - Paragraph
The key feature of Bohr's theory of spectrum of hydrogen atom is the quantization of angular momentum when an electron is revolving around a proton. We will extend this to a general rotational motion to find quantized rotational energy of a diatomic molecule assuming it to be rigid. The rule to be applied is Bohr's quantization condition.
