Which of the following statements are correct? 1.Gibberellins can substitute light treat- ment 2. Gibberellins increase the yield of malt from barley grains in the brewing industry 3. Gibberellins favour flowering in long day plants 4. Gibberellins induce flowering in short day plants Select the correct answer using the codes given below

Assertion :- GA_3 is used to speed up the malting process in brewing industries. Reason:- GA_3 leads to synthesis of alpha -amylase hydrolysing enzyme which is responsible for partial hydrolysis of starch.

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R ) : Assertion (A) : Synthesis of ethyl phenyl ether may be achieved by Williamson synthesis. Reason (R ) : Reaction of bromobenzene with sodium ethoxide yields ethyl phenyl ether. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

Assertion : All our major food crops are derived from domesticated varieties. Reason : Better management practices and increases in acreage can increases yield, but only to a limited extent.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: Reduction of carboxylic acids and their derivatives plays an important role in organic synthesis, in both laboratory and industrial processes. Traditionally, the reduction is performed using stochiometric amounts of hydride reagents, generating stochiometric amounts of waste. A much more attractive, atom-economical approach is a catalytic reaction using H_2 , however, hydrogenation of carboxylic acid derivatives under mild conditions is a very challenging task, with amides presenting the highest challenge among all classes of carbonyl compounds. Very few examples of the important hydrogenation of amides to amines, in which the C-O bond is cleaved with the liberation of water (Scheme 1), were reported. C-O cleavage of amides can also be affected with silanes as reducing agents. We have now prepared the new, dearomatized, bipyridine-based pincer complex 3, catalyst 3(Here refered as Cat. 3). Remarkably, it efficiently catalyzes the selective hydrogenation of amides to form amines and alcohols (eq 1). The reaction proceeds under mild pressure and neutral conditions, with no additives being required. Since the reaction proceeds well under anhydrous conditions, hydrolytic cleavage of the amide is not involved in this process. (Balaraman, E., Gnanaprakasam, B., Shimon, L. J., & Milstein, D. (2010). Direct hydrogenation of amides to alcohols and amines under mild conditions. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 132(47), 16756-16758.) In the following questions, a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices on the basis of the above passage. Assertion: N-methyl ethanamide on reaction with catalyst 3 will yield ethanol and methanamine. Reason: Use of Catalyst 3 brings about cleavage of C-N bond of amides
