Solution and Explanation
When phenol reacts with concentrated nitric acid (HNO3), it undergoes nitration at the ortho and para positions relative to the hydroxyl group. The major product is 2,4,6-Trinitrophenol (picric acid), which is highly reactive due to the electron-donating effect of the hydroxyl group, activating the ring for nitration.
\[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{OH} + 3\text{HNO}_3 \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_2(\text{NO}_2)_3\text{OH} + 3\text{H}_2\text{O} \]

- Consider three metal spherical shells A, B, and C, each of radius \( R \). Each shell has a concentric metal ball of radius \( R/10 \). The spherical shells A, B, and C are given charges \( +6q, -4q, \) and \( 14q \) respectively. Their inner metal balls are also given charges \( -2q, +8q, \) and \( -10q \) respectively. Compare the magnitude of the electric fields due to shells A, B, and C at a distance \( 3R \) from their centers.

A school is organizing a debate competition with participants as speakers and judges. $ S = \{S_1, S_2, S_3, S_4\} $ where $ S = \{S_1, S_2, S_3, S_4\} $ represents the set of speakers. The judges are represented by the set: $ J = \{J_1, J_2, J_3\} $ where $ J = \{J_1, J_2, J_3\} $ represents the set of judges. Each speaker can be assigned only one judge. Let $ R $ be a relation from set $ S $ to $ J $ defined as: $ R = \{(x, y) : \text{speaker } x \text{ is judged by judge } y, x \in S, y \in J\} $.
