JEE Main levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 2 of 3pl066

Which of the following pairs of polymer and monomer(s) is correctly matched?

  1. ANylon 6,6 : caprolactam
  2. BBakelite : phenol and acetaldehyde
  3. CTerylene : ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid
  4. DMelamine polymer : melamine and acetone

Answer: C

Nylon 6,6 uses hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid (caprolactam gives nylon 6). Bakelite uses formaldehyde, and the melamine polymer is made with formaldehyde, not acetone.
