Solution

The correct option is B Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
Victor-Meyer's test is used to distinguish between 1,2,3 alchohols as well as nitro compounds.


Victor-Meyer's method is used to determine the molecular weight of volatile organic compounds. A known mass of the compound is vaporised in an instrument called Victor Meyer tube. Vapours are obtained from the sample and it displaces an equal volume of air into a graduated tube. The volume of vapours is then measured and reduced to STP. After that by using mole concept, molecular weight of the organic compound can be determined.
