Biphenyl will have a higher R value than the Methyl Orange.
Explanation:
Biphenyl is a aromatic hydrocarbon and it is a nonpolar molecule.
Methyl Orange is a organic compound with a -SO₃⁻Na⁺ polar functional group which will induce a high polarity in the compound.
You may find the chemical structures of both molecules in the attached picture.
Column chromatography, which use as stationary phase silica gel, is a good technique for separation of the Methyl Orange from Biphenyl.
Being a non-polar molecule, Biphenyl will have a higher R value than the Methyl Orange.
To separate them you use a appropriate solvent as eluent, as exemple chloroform, and Biphenyl will elute first from the column and after that, as a separate phase, Methyl Orange will elute thus separating them.

Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
The question is incomplete. However in picture 1, you have the starting materials and the structure of the product, which you miss in this part.
Now, in picture 2, you have the starting reactant and the product, and the mechanism that is taking place here.
First, all what we have here is an acid base reaction. In the first step, we are using the acid medium to convert the reactant into an alcohol. The bromine there, is not leaving the molecule yet, because it's neccesary for the next step. The starting reactant is an alkene, in that way, we can convert the reactant in the first step into a secondary alcohol. In other words, the first reaction is a alkene hydration.
In the second step, we use a strong base. You may say this is a strong nucleophile and will do a Sn2 reaction to form another alcohol there, but it's not the case, because, before any kind of reaction happens, the priority here is always the acid base, so the base will react with the acidic hydrogen. In this case, it will substract an hydrogen from the OH. When this happens, the lone pair will do an auto condensation here, and attacks the bromine in the molecule. In this way, the molecule will become a cyclomolecule, and that way it form the final product.
