I have studied Alcohols Phenols theory completely but I am still not able to solve questions I it...
Infact I am not getting what to first basic thing of question......
What should I do?

In alcohols, -OR group is attached to Sp3 hybridised carbon. These alcohols are usually classified as primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols.

Alcohols may be
(i) monohydric-containing one – OR group,
(ii) dihydric-containing two – OR groups and
(iii) polyhydric-containing three or more -OR groups.
In phenols, -OR group is attached to Sp2hybridised carbon. These may also be monohydric, dihydric, etc. The dihydric phenol further rosy be ortho, meta’ or para derivative.
In allylic alcohols, – OH group is attached to sp3 hybridised carbon but next to C=C bond.
e.g., CH2 = CH – CH2OH, Benzylic alcoho1(C6H5CH2OH)
Structure of Alcohols and Phenols
The oxygen atom of alcohols is Sp3 hybridised and they have tetrahedral position of hybrid atomic orbitals .
