The order of basicity in ammonia is different in gaseous phases vs. aqueous phases due to hydrogen bonding.

So in gaseous phases it's the well known: 3' > 2' > 1'> NH3. Just so we're on the same page, this is due to the inductive effect of electron donating alkyl groups--they destabilize the lone pair on nitrogen atom, making nitrogen more basic.

But in aqueous phase, the order is slightly different: 2'> 1'> 3' > NH3.

YEAR - 1 E

WEEK - 2 E

DAY - 0 E

Hence, the letter 'E', comes once in a year, twice in a week and never in a day.

From the given data,

let the initial quantity of the mixture = 5x

Then,

$$\begin{gathered} 2x - 163x - 24 + 40 = 14 \\ 8x - 64 = 3x + 16 \\ 5x = 80 \\ x = 16 lit \end{gathered}$$

Then the initial quantity of the mixture = 5x = 5 x 16 = 80 lit.

Total money decided to contribute = 750 x 12 = 9000

Let 'b' boys dropped

The rest paid 150/- more

=> (12 - b) x 900 = 9000

=> b = 2

Hence, the number of boys who dropped out is 2.

$$\begin{gathered} 23x35x34x?=3174 \\ 3174x10/3 \\ = 10580 \end{gathered}$$

Gammaxene, D.D.T. & Bleaching powder are important compounds of Chlorine.
