Give the correct order of decreasing acidity of the following compounds

Answer»

Correct orderal acidity — IV > I > II > III

In (IV), due to presence of three highly electron withdrawing -NO2 group, (IV) has highest acidic character among them.

In (II) due to presence of one -CH3 (electron releasing) group. It has low acidic character them (I).

In (III), due to presence of two -CH3 group adjacent to -NO2 group, -NO2 group goes out of plane of benzene ring. That's why, it not participate in the conjugation (Resonance) with benzene ring. So, there is no -R effect of -NO2 group. There is only, -I effect of -NO2. That's why, it has lowest acidic character among them.

Hence, the correct order of acidity will be —

IV > I > II > III

Let `f: N -> R`be a function defined as `f(x)=4x^2+12 x+15.`Show that `f: N -> S,`where `S`is the range of `f`is invertible. Also find the inverse of `f`

Answer» a function is invertible only one-one and onto
`x_1,x_2 in R`
`f(x_1)=f(x_2)`
`x_1=x_2`
`4x_1^2+12x_1+15=4x_2^2+12x_2+15`
`4(x_1^2-x_2^2)+12(x_1-x_2)=0`
`(x_1-x_2)(x_1+x_2)+3(x_1-x_2)=0`
`(x_1-x_2)[x_1+x_2+x_3]=0`
This is one one function

f(x) is one one and onto function
`f(x)=4x^2+12x+15`
`f(x)=(2x)^2*(2x)(3)+3^2+6`
`y=f(x)=(2x+3)^2+6`
`y=(2x+3)^2+6`
`(y-6)=(2x+3)^2`
`(2x+3)=sqrt(y-6`
`x=(sqrt(y-6)-3)/2`
`f^(-1)(Y)=(sqrt(y-6)-3)/2`.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The number of solutions ………………..
Given, `log(-2x)=2log(x+1)`
`implies -2x = (x+1)^(2)`
`implies x^(2)+4x+1=0`
`implies x = (-4+-sqrt(16-4))/(2) implies x = (-4+-sqrt(12))/(2)`
`implies x = (-2+sqrt(3)), (-2, -sqrt(3))`
`x+1gt0 and -2 x gt 0`
Hence `x = - 2 + sqrt(3)`

If `a, b, c` are in `G.P.` and `b-c, c-a, a-b` are in `H.P.` then find the value of `((a+b+c)^(2))/(b^(2))` .

Answer» Correct Answer - 9
If `a, b, c` are in ……..
`a, b, c rarr G.P`
`implies b^(2)=ac`.
`b-c, c-a, a-b rarr H.P.`
`implies (2)/(c-a)=(1)/(b-c)+(1)/(a-b)`
`(2)/(c-a) = (a-c)/((b-c)xx(a-b))`
`implies 2(ab-ac-b^(2)+bc)= - (a-c)^(2)`
`2ab+2bc-2ac-2b^(2)= -a^(2)-c^(2)+2ac`
`a^(2)+b^(2)+c^(2)+2ab+2bc+2ca=6ac+3b^(2)=9ac`
`(a+b+c)^(2) = 9ac`
`((a+b+c)^(2))/(b^(2))=9`
