This section contains 2 paragraphs C13 C18. Based upon the paragraph, 3 multiple choice
questions have to be answered. Each question has 4 choices (a), (b), (c) and (d), out of which
ONLY ONE is correct.
PassageI
Redox reactions are those in which oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously.
Oxidising agent can gain electron whereas reducing agent can lose electron easily. The oxidation
state of any element can never be in fraction. If oxidation number of any element comes out to
be in fraction, it is an average oxidation state of that element which is present in different oxidation
states.

SECTION IV
Matrix Match Type
This section contains 3 questions. Each question contains statements given in two columns
which have to be matched. Statements (A), (B), (C), (D) in Column I have to be matched
with statements (1, 2, 3, 4) in Column II. One statement in first column has one or more than
one match with the statements in second column. The answers to these questions have to be
appropriately bubbled as illustrated in the following example.
If the correct matches are A 1,3, B 3, C 2,3 and D 2,4, then the correctly bubbled

SECTION V
Subjective or Numerical Type
The answer to these questions would lie between
0 to 9999. For any answer all four bubbles must be
filled, for example if you plan to answer as 16 then fill
0016 and if you plan to answer 0 then fill 0000 in the
grid provided in answer sheet. In case the answer is a
fraction, round it off to the nearest whole number. For
example, 725.3 is rounded off to 0725. Any incomplete
filling will be considered as incorrect filling.

C6H14(g)
C6H6(l) + 4H2(g).
The partial pressure equilibrium constant (Kp) for this reaction has been found to vary with
13941 K
temperature according to the equation log K p 23.45
.
