The IR stretching frequencies ($\mathrm{cm^{-1}}$) for the compound X are as follows: $3300-3500$ (s, br); $3000$ (m); $2225$ (s); $1680$ (s). Question structure, ABC26OR0713 The correct assignment of the absorption bands is:
(a)$\bar{\nu}_{\mathrm{(OH)}} = 3300-3500;\ \bar{\nu}_{\mathrm{(CH)}} = 3000;\ \bar{\nu}_{\mathrm{(CN)}} = 2225;\ \bar{\nu}_{\mathrm{(CO)}} = 1680$
(b)$\bar{\nu}_{\mathrm{(OH)}} = 3000;\ \bar{\nu}_{\mathrm{(CH)}} = 3300-3500;\ \bar{\nu}_{\mathrm{(CN)}} = 2225;\ \bar{\nu}_{\mathrm{(CO)}} = 1680$
(c)$\bar{\nu}_{\mathrm{(OH)}} = 3300-3500;\ \bar{\nu}_{\mathrm{(CH)}} = 3000;\ \bar{\nu}_{\mathrm{(CN)}} = 1680;\ \bar{\nu}_{\mathrm{(CO)}} = 2225$
(d)$\bar{\nu}_{\mathrm{(OH)}} = 3000;\ \bar{\nu}_{\mathrm{(CH)}} = 3300-3500;\ \bar{\nu}_{\mathrm{(CN)}} =;\ 1680\ \bar{\nu}_{\mathrm{(CO)}} = 2225$
