  1. A \( 12 \)
  2. B \( 13 \)
  3. C \( 04 \)
  4. D \( 05 \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( 13 \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

There are only three isomers possible with formula \( \mathrm{CH}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{8} \) having structure:
(I) \( \mathrm{CH} \equiv \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{3} \)
(II) \( \mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{3} \)
(III) \( \mathrm{CH} \equiv \mathrm{C}-\underset{\mathrm{CH}_{3}}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}-\mathrm{CH}_{3} \)
