Explanation

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 17th March Morning Shift Chemistry - Practical Organic Chemistry Question 57 English Explanation
Weight of (C6H5NO2)Theoretical = $${{{3.9} \over {78}} \times 123}$$ = 6.15 g

% yield of reaction = $${{{W_{actual}}} \over {{W_{theoretical}}}} \times 100 = {{4.92} \over {6.15}} \times = 80\% $$
