Show Hint
Fehling’s test is specific for aliphatic aldehydes.
Updated On: Feb 24, 2026
- 2,4-DNP reagent
- Saturated NaHSO$_3$ solution
- Fehling solution
- Lucas reagent
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Nature of products.
Acidic hydrolysis produces one aldehyde and one ketone.
Step 2: Differentiation.
Fehling solution gives a positive test with aldehydes but not with ketones.
Step 3: Conclusion.
Fehling solution can distinguish between P and Q.
Acidic hydrolysis produces one aldehyde and one ketone.
Step 2: Differentiation.
Fehling solution gives a positive test with aldehydes but not with ketones.
Step 3: Conclusion.
Fehling solution can distinguish between P and Q.

- A thin convex lens of focal length \( 5 \) cm and a thin concave lens of focal length \( 4 \) cm are combined together (without any gap), and this combination has magnification \( m_1 \) when an object is placed \( 10 \) cm before the convex lens.
Keeping the positions of the convex lens and the object undisturbed, a gap of \( 1 \) cm is introduced between the lenses by moving the concave lens away. This leads to a change in magnification of the total lens system to \( m_2 \).
