Solution
The correct options are B Q gives a dark violet coloration with 1% aqueous FeCl3 solution C S gives an yellow precipitate with 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine
Q (not R) is steam volatile due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
Q gives violet colouration due to phenolic functional group.
S gives yellow precipitate due to aldehydic group with 2, 4 –DNP.
S does not have a free phenolic group to respond to FeCl3 test.
