(b) -1·2 ∆o 
(c) -0·8 ∆o 
(d) -0·6 ∆o

(iv) Which of the following product is formed when benzene diazonium chloride is reduced by hypophosphorous acid (H3PO2) in the presence of cuprous ion as catalyst? 
(a) Phenol 
(b) Aniline 
(c) Benzene 
(d) Benzene cyanide 

(v) Which of the following aqueous solution has lowest vapour pressure?

(vi) Assertion: Adding water to two beakers ‘A’ and ‘B’ containing NaOH and CH3COOH solutions respectively will increase the molar conductance (ꓥm) of the solutions sharply in beaker ‘A’ and slowly in beaker ‘B’. Reason: Molar conductance (ꓥm) increases with a decrease in concentration or upon dilution. 
(a) Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion. 
(b) Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion. 
(c) Assertion is true but Reason is false. 
(d) Assertion is false but Reason is true.

(a) Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion. 
(b) Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion. 
(c) Assertion is true but Reason is false. 
(d) Assertion is false but Reason is true
