Succinic acid
\[\xrightarrow{\Delta }\left( A \right)\xrightarrow[\Delta ]{N{{H}_{3}}}\left( B \right)\xrightarrow[KOH]{B{{r}_{2}}}\left( C \right);\]
Product $$(C)$$ will be :
The order of dehydration among three type of alcohols is $${3^ \circ } > {2^ \circ } > {1^ \circ } > C{H_3}OH.$$ This behaviour is related to the relative stabilities of carbocations $$\left( {{3^ \circ } > {2^ \circ } > {1^ \circ }} \right).$$

An organic compound with molecular formula $${C_4}{H_{10}}O$$ does not react with sodium. With excess of $$HI$$ it gives only one type of alkyl halide. The compound is
A
$${C_2}{H_5}O{C_2}{H_5}$$
B
\[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}

\,OC{{H}_{3}}

Nitro group is an electron withdrawing group, so increases the acidic character of phenol. Whereas $$ - C{H_3}$$ and $$ - OC{H_3}$$ both are electron releasing groups, so it decrease the acidic character of phenol. But $$ - C{H_3}$$ group is less electron donating or releasing, so $$p$$ - methyl phenol is slightly more acidic as compare to $$p$$ - methoxy phenol and $$p$$ - nitro phenol is most acidic. So, the order of acidic character is
$$p$$ - methoxy phenol < $$p$$ - methyl phenol < $$p$$ - nitro phenol.
