    Stability of cycloalkanes can be explained on the basis of Bayer stain theory.This theory is applicable only for cyclopropane, cyclobutane and cyclopentane.Stability of cyclohexane and its derivatives can be explained by Mohr's theory According to this cyclohexane exists in two forms chair and boat.The chair form is more stable than the boat form.Every carbon of chair form has an axial and equatorial bonds.Bulky groups are generally present at equatorial position.The preferred conformation of cyclohexane ring is the chair form.but when intermolecular hydrogen bonding is possible between groups in 1 and 4 positions the molecule assumes a boat form. Which one of the following is most stable conformer of 1,4-dimethylcycohexane ?
