The following reaction method 
- F
- I
- Cl
- Br
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The reaction shown is a free radical halogenation reaction. This method is unsuitable for the preparation of fluoroarenes because of the high reactivity of fluorine. Fluorine is so reactive that it is difficult to control the reaction, leading to multiple substitutions. In this reaction, the free radical is formed by using the metal Fe in dark conditions. For the other halogens, the reaction can be controlled to obtain the corresponding haloarenes.

Consider a water tank shown in the figure. It has one wall at \(x = L\) and can be taken to be very wide in the z direction. When filled with a liquid of surface tension \(S\) and density \( \rho \), the liquid surface makes angle \( \theta_0 \) (\( \theta_0 < < 1 \)) with the x-axis at \(x = L\). If \(y(x)\) is the height of the surface then the equation for \(y(x)\) is: (take \(g\) as the acceleration due to gravity)

- Two cities X and Y are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every T min. A girl is driving scooty with a speed of 60 km/h in the direction X to Y. She notices that a bus goes past her every 30 minutes in the direction of her motion, and every 10 minutes in the opposite direction. Choose the correct option for the period T of the bus service and the speed (assumed constant) of the buses.
