Options:

(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)

(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)

(A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)

(A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)

Correct Answer:

(A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)

List-I Compound

List-II Reagent or Chemical test

(A) Phenols

(II) Neutral $FeCl_3$ aq. solution

(B) Amines

(IV) Hinsberg's Test

(C) Aldehydes

(I) Tollen's test

(D) Methyl Ketones

(III) lodoform Test

(A) Phenols $\rightarrow$ (II) Neutral $FeCl_3$ aq. solution

Phenols react with neutral ferric chloride to form a characteristic violet, blue, or green colored complex. This is a standard test to distinguish phenols from alcohols.

(B) Amines $\rightarrow$ (IV) Hinsberg's Test

The Hinsberg test uses benzenesulfonyl chloride ($C_6H_5SO_2Cl$) to distinguish between primary, secondary, and tertiary amines based on the solubility of their sulfonamide derivatives in alkali.

(C) Aldehydes $\rightarrow$ (I) Tollen's test

Aldehydes are easily oxidized and reduce Tollen's reagent (ammoniacal silver nitrate) to metallic silver, forming a silver mirror on the inner walls of the test tube.

(D) Methyl Ketones $\rightarrow$ (III) Iodoform Test

Compounds containing the $CH_3CO-$ group (methyl ketones) react with iodine and sodium hydroxide to produce a yellow precipitate of iodoform ($CHI_3$).
