Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a
Two asymmetric `C` atoms with the same terminal group (n=number os asymmetric `C` atom and is even)
Number of `O.A.I.= 2^(n-1)=2`
Number of meso forms` =2^((n-2)//2)=1`
Total optical isomers`=3`
One double bond `=2` diasteromers
Total stereoisomers `=3xx2=6`
