Q. The correct match between item 'I' and item 'II' is
Item I (Compound) Item II (Reagent)

(2) Furfural (Q) ninhydrin
(3) Isopropyl alcohol (R) $K M n O_{4}$
(4) Vinyl benzene (Styrene) (S) Ceric ammonium Nitrate

Solution:

Lysine (amino acid) can be tested by ninhydrin as ninhydrin test is used for testing amino acids.

Furfural can be tested by 1-naphthol.

Isopropyl alcohol can be tested by Ceric ammonium nitrate which is a yellow reagent and on reaction with alcohol changes to red.

Vinyl benzene (Styrene) can be tested by $\text{KMn}\text{O}_{4}$ as styrene decolourises alk. $\text{KMn}\text{O}_{4}$ due to presence of unsaturation (double bond).
