In the study of chlorination of propane four products (A,B,C and D) (structural isomerism) of the formula `C_3H_6Cl_2` were isolated. Each was further chlorinated to provide trichloro products `(C_3H_5Cl_3)` It was found that A provide one trichloro produce, B gave two and C and D each gave three. It is found that D is optically active.
Formula of the compound A is

A

B

C

`CH_3CH_2CHCl_2`

D

`CH_3-oversetunderset(|)(Cl)(C )H - CH_2Cl`

A hydrocarbon P has molecular formula C_8H_(16) , and it does not undergo hydrogenation with raney Ni. A on free radical chlorination yields three monochloro derivatives Q, R and S (all structural isomers) with their molecular formula C_8 H_(15)Cl . Only Q can show optical isomerism R. On further chlorination produces a dichloride C_8 H_(14) Cl_2 , as one of the several isomers which on heating with sodium metal in etheral solution gives bicyclo [2, 2, 2] octane. If S is dichlorinated, how many isomers would be produced? (exclude stereoisomers)

A hydrocarbon with molecular formula C_5H_12 on mono chlorination in presence of light gives four compounds A,B,C,D. A is optically inactive and dehydrohalgenation gives E( major) which on ozonolysis gives acetone and acetaldehyde. B is optically active gives on dehydrohalogenation E also gives E as the major product. Further C is optically active while D is optically inactive. All compounds A,B,C,D on reduction give 2-methyl butane. Which of the following is likely structure of C
