The number of hexagonal faces that are present in a truncated octahedron is
- A 2
- B 4
- C 6
- D 8
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 8
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The truncated octahedron is the 14 -faced Archimedean solid, with 14 total faces. 6 squares and 8 regular hexagons. The truncated octahedron is formed by removing the six right square pyramids one from each point of a regular octahedron as:

- Paragraph I: An organic compound \(\mathrm{P}\) with molecular formula \(\mathrm{C}_5 \mathrm{H}_{18} \mathrm{O}_2\) decolorizes bromine water and also shows positive iodoform test. \(\mathrm{P}\) on ozonolysis followed by treatment with \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2\) gives \(\mathrm{Q}\) and \(\mathrm{R}\). While compound \(\mathrm{Q}\) shows positive iodoform test, compound \(\mathrm{R}\) does not give positive iodoform test. \(\mathrm{Q}\) and \(\mathrm{R}\) on oxidation with pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) followed by heating give \(\mathrm{S}\) and \(\mathrm{T}\), respectively. Both \(\mathrm{S}\) and \(\mathrm{T}\) show positive iodoform test.
Complete copolymerization of 500 moles of \(\mathrm{Q}\) and 500 moles of \(\mathrm{R}\) gives one mole of a single acyclic copolymer \(\mathrm{U}\).
