Thin layer chromatography of a mixture shows the following observation: The correct order of elution in the silica gel column chromatography is

  1. A \(A,C,B\)
  2. B \(B,C,A\)
  3. C \(C,A,B\)
  4. D \(B,A,C\)

(A) \(A,C,B\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the observation,\(A\) is more mobile and interacts with the mobile phase more than \(C\), and \(C\) is more drawn to the mobile phase than \(B\). Hence, the correct order of elution in the silico gel column chromatography is \(- B < C < A\)
