Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] $ C_4H_7Cl $ is a monochloro derivative of $ C_4H_8 $ which itself exists in three acyclic isomeric forms. $ \underset{( ItsfourC’saredifferent )}{\mathop{\underset{I}{\mathop{CH_3CH_2CH=CH_2}}}} $

$ \underset{( Ithas2typesofcarbon )}{\mathop{\underset{II}{\mathop{CH_3CH=CHCH_3}}}} $

$ \underset{( Ithas2typesofcarbon )}{\mathop{\underset{III}{\mathop{CH_3-\overset{CH_3}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}}=CH_2}}}} $ Grand total of acyclic isomers $ =6+4+2=12 $
