Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 15

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

All atoms are on the same plane as all central atoms are either \(\mathrm{sp}^{2}\) or sp hybridised \(\therefore\) total number of atoms on same plane \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{4}+\mathrm{NO}_{2}+\mathrm{CN}=15\)
