The number of isomeric tetraenes (NOT containing sp-hybridized carbon atoms) that can be formed from the following reaction sequence is _____ .

- A 1
- B 2
- C 3
- D 4
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 2
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The anti-addition of hydrogen to an alkyne pi bond occurs when reacted with sodium or lithium metal dissolved in ammonia. This reaction produces a trans-alkene as its product.

Bromine react with alkene to give anti addition dibromo product. In this case both double bonds will react. In the next reaction elimination of HBr will take place forming tetraene.
The final tetraene product can show Geometrical isomerism along one double bond only. So, it will have two isomers only.

- Paragraph:
In a thin rectangular metallic strip a constant current \(I\) flows along the positive \(x\)-direction, as shown in the figure. The length, width and thickness of the strip are \(l, w\) and \(d\), respectively.
A uniform magnetic field \(\vec{B}\) is applied on the strip along the positive \(y\)-direction. Due to this, the charge carriers experience a net deflection along the \(z\)-direction. This results in accumulation of charge carriers on the surface \(P Q R S\) and appearance of equal and opposite charges on the face opposite to \(P Q R S\). A potential difference along the \(z\)-direction is thus developed. Charge accumulation continues until the magnetic force is balanced by the electric force. The current is assumed to be uniformly distributed on the cross section of the strip and carried by electrons.

Question:
Consider two different metallic strips (\(1\) and \(2\)) of same dimensions (length \(l\), width \(w\) and thickness \(d\) ) with carrier densities \(n_{1}\) and \(n_{2}\), respectively. Strip \(1\) is placed in magnetic field \(B_{1}\) and strip \(2\) is placed in magnetic field \(B_{2}\), both along positive \(y\)-directions. Then \(V_{1}\) and \(V_{2}\) are the potential differences developed between \(K\) and \(M\) in strips \(1\) and \(2\), respectively. Assuming that the current \(I\) is the same for both the strips, the correct option(s) is(are)JEE Advanced 2015 Medium - Paragraph:
An aqueous solution of a mixture of two inorganic salts, when treated with dilute \(H C\) ?, gave a precipitate \((\boldsymbol{P})\) and a filtrate \((\boldsymbol{Q})\). The precipitate \(\boldsymbol{P}\) was found to dissolve in hot water. The filtrate \((\boldsymbol{Q})\) remained unchanged, when treated with \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{~S}\) in a dilute mineral acid medium. However, it gave a precipitate \((\boldsymbol{R})\) with \(H_{2} S\) in an ammoniacal medium. The precipitate \(\boldsymbol{R}\) gave a coloured solution \((\boldsymbol{S})\), when treated with \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\) in an aqueous \(\mathrm{NaOH}\) medium.

When the pressure of water at the bottom of this disc exceeds what can be withstood due to the surface tension, the water surface breaks near the rim and water starts flowing from there. If the density of water, its surface tension and the acceleration due to gravity are and respectively, the value of (in )is ________.
