Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \((I) > (II) \approx (III) > (IV)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Disequatorial cis \(-1,\,3-\) Dimethylcyclohexane is more stable as both methyl groups are equatorial and are away from each other. (Refer to Image \(I\)) It is followed by trans \(-1,\,3-\) Dimethylcyclohexane where one \(-C H_{3}\) group is equatorial and other is axial (Refer…
