Correct answer: D

  1. Identify each test in List-II

    • (P) Sodium fusion extract gives Prussian blue with FeSO4\mathrm{FeSO_4}FeSO4​ and then acidification
      ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ Test for nitrogen.

    • (Q) Sodium fusion extract with sodium nitroprusside gives blood red color
      ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ Test for sulfur.

    • (R) Addition to saturated NaHCO3\mathrm{NaHCO_3}NaHCO3​ gives effervescence
      ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ Presence of carboxylic acid group (−COOH\mathrm{-COOH}−COOH), due to CO2\mathrm{CO_2}CO2​ evolution.

    • (S) Reaction with bromine water gives white precipitate
      ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ characteristic of aniline (forming 2,4,6-tribromoaniline) and also phenols like cresol can decolorize bromine water with precipitated brominated product.

    • (T) Neutral FeCl3\mathrm{FeCl_3}FeCl3​ gives violet color
      ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ Phenolic group.


  1. Now analyze each compound in List-I

(I) Aniline, C6H5NH2\mathrm{C_6H_5NH_2}C6​H5​NH2​

  • Contains nitrogen ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ gives Lassaigne's test for N ⇒(P)\Rightarrow (P)⇒(P).
  • With bromine water, aniline gives 2,4,6-tribromoaniline, a white precipitate ⇒(S)\Rightarrow (S)⇒(S).

So,

I→P,S\mathrm{I \rightarrow P, S}I→P,S

(II) ooo-Cresol

  • It is a phenol derivative.
  • Phenols give violet color with neutral FeCl3\mathrm{FeCl_3}FeCl3​ ⇒(T)\Rightarrow (T)⇒(T).
  • It does not contain nitrogen or sulfur.
  • It is not a carboxylic acid, so no effervescence with NaHCO3\mathrm{NaHCO_3}NaHCO3​.

So,

II→T\mathrm{II \rightarrow T}II→T

(III) Cysteine

Structure contains:

  • Sulfur in thiol group (−SH)(-SH)(−SH) ⇒(Q)\Rightarrow (Q)⇒(Q).
  • Carboxylic acid group (−COOH)(-COOH)(−COOH) ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ reacts with NaHCO3\mathrm{NaHCO_3}NaHCO3​ with effervescence ⇒(R)\Rightarrow (R)⇒(R).

So,

III→Q,R\mathrm{III \rightarrow Q, R}III→Q,R

(IV) Caprolactam

  • Caprolactam is a lactam (cyclic amide), so it contains nitrogen.
  • Therefore sodium fusion extract gives test for nitrogen ⇒(P)\Rightarrow (P)⇒(P).
  • No sulfur, no phenolic group, no carboxylic acid.

So,

IV→P\mathrm{IV \rightarrow P}IV→P
  1. Final matching

Thus the correct matching is:

I→P,S;II→T;III→Q,R;IV→P\mathrm{I \rightarrow P,S;\quad II \rightarrow T;\quad III \rightarrow Q,R;\quad IV \rightarrow P}I→P,S;II→T;III→Q,R;IV→P

This corresponds to Option D.


  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer = D.

Our derived answer = D.

So the answer agrees with the stored answer.
