On complete hydrolysis, which of the following polymers give the products listed?

  1. APGA gives hydroxyethanoic acid.
  2. BNylon 2-nylon 6 gives glycine and 6-aminohexanoic acid.
  3. CPHBV gives 3-hydroxybutanoic acid and 3-aminopentanoic acid.
  4. DPLA gives 2-hydroxypropanoic acid.

Answer: A, B, D

Hydrolysis reverses the condensation, returning the original monomers. PHBV returns 3-hydroxybutanoic and 3-hydroxypentanoic acids, not an amino acid, so option 3 is wrong.
