  3. (C)P-4, Q-3, R-2, S-1✓ Correct
  4. (D)P-3, Q-4, R-1, S-2

Answer: (C)

Solution

Analyzing each starting material and matching with the schemes:
  • P (toluene derivative): Scheme IV involves sulfonation followed by nitration and hydrolysis to give a nitrophenol ().
  • Q (resorcinol): Scheme III involves chlorination with red hot iron, nitration, reduction, diazotization, and hydrolysis to give a nitrophenol ().
  • R (nitrobenzene): Scheme II involves reduction to aniline, acetylation, nitration, hydrolysis to give a diaminonitrobenzene ().
  • S (p-nitrotoluene): Scheme I involves oxidation to acid, conversion to amide to give nitrobenzoic acid amide ().

Therefore, the correct matching is P-4, Q-3, R-2, S-1, which corresponds to option (C).
