29Ans 1 ..this is a direct reaction from NCERT..
Ans 2 ..the statement is false...Nitro grp has a postive charge so it attacks like an electrophile...rate of electrophilic attack on nitrobenzene is slow as compared to benzene coz the nitro grp deactivates the benzene ring for any electrophilic attack...
29The product P is the same as that Tapas mentioned (that's wat i think)
generally in this reaction pyridine is used as a base to direct the equilibrium in the forward direction..in this case OH- is used...
