Total number of isomeric xylenes or dichlorobenzenes or cresols is
- A 2
- B 3
- C 4
- D 5
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 3
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
All the three are disubstituted benzenes, i.e., xylenes has two \(\mathrm{CH}_3\) groups, dichlorobenzenes has two Cl atoms and cresol has one \(\mathrm{CH}_3\) and one OH group. Therefore, each one has three isomers i.e, \(o-(1,2), m-(1,3)\) and \(p-(1,4)\).
