The correct answer is: 30

Let initial moles of reactant taken =n
Total moles obtained for benzene sulphonic acid (with % yield =60%=0.6 n

Moles of benzene sulphonic acid before reaction II=0.6 n

Moles obtained for phenol (with % yield = 50%=0.6×0.5 n=0.3 n

So over all % yield of complete reaction =0.3nn×100=30
