Why is Wurtz reaction not preferred for the preparation of alkanes containing odd number of carbon atoms?

Which reaction is used for converting a primary amide into a primary amine containing one carbon atom less than the parent amide?

The minimum number of carbon atoms, an alkane should contain in order to exhibit optical activity is :

An organic compound contains 20% carbon. It's vapour density is 120. The number of carbon atoms in one molecule of the compound is

The reaction given below is an example of Friedel-Craft alkylation reaction. In number of cases of Friedel-Crafts alkylation, the final product is found to contain a rearranged alkyl group. Generally with stronger Lewis acid product is rearranged due to enough polarization of complex while with weak lewis acid no such effect is observed. Temperature also favours rearranged product. If we take FeCl_(3) in place of AICI_(3) in the above reaction, the product is
