Step 1: Understanding the Reaction Sequences
Step 2: Conclusion
Thus, the correct answer is (A) P-3, Q-5, R-4, S-1.
To solve the problem, we analyze each reaction sequence and determine the corresponding product structure based on the given reagents and conditions.
1. For (P):
- Ozonolysis of cyclohexene with Zn and aqueous NaOH gives a dione intermediate.
- Treatment with ethylene glycol and PTSA forms an acetal.
- Hydroboration-oxidation (BH3, H2O2, NaOH) adds hydroxyl groups.
- Acidification and reduction (H3O+, NaBH4) complete the process.
- The product corresponds to structure (3), a diol on cyclopentane with a methyl substituent.
2. For (Q):
- Similar steps applied to methylcyclopentene.
- Results in a diol with hydroxyls and a methyl group, structure (5).
3. For (R):
- Starting from methylcyclopentenone.
- Protection, oxymercuration-demercuration, acidification, and reduction lead to structure (4).
4. For (S):
- Starting from methylcyclopentenone.
- Protection, hydroboration-oxidation, acidification, and reduction lead to structure (1).
Final Matching:
P - 3, Q - 5, R - 4, S - 1
Final Answer:
Option (A)
From the following, how many compounds contain at least one secondary alcohol? 

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Dimethyl ether is completely soluble in water. However, diethyl ether is soluble in water to a very small extent.
Statement II: Sodium metal can be used to dry diethyl ether and not ethyl alcohol.
In the light of the given statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Let $ P(x_1, y_1) $ and $ Q(x_2, y_2) $ be two distinct points on the ellipse $$ \frac{x^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{4} = 1 $$ such that $ y_1 > 0 $, and $ y_2 > 0 $. Let $ C $ denote the circle $ x^2 + y^2 = 9 $, and $ M $ be the point $ (3, 0) $. Suppose the line $ x = x_1 $ intersects $ C $ at $ R $, and the line $ x = x_2 $ intersects $ C $ at $ S $, such that the $ y $-coordinates of $ R $ and $ S $ are positive. Let $ \angle ROM = \frac{\pi}{6} $ and $ \angle SOM = \frac{\pi}{3} $, where $ O $ denotes the origin $ (0, 0) $. Let $ |XY| $ denote the length of the line segment $ XY $. Then which of the following statements is (are) TRUE?
