The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that but-1-ene and 2-methylprop-1-ene are position isomers. - **But-1-ene** has the structure: CH2=CH-CH2-CH3. - **2-Methylprop-1-ene** has the structure: CH2=C(CH3)-CH2-CH3. 2. **Identifying the Type of Isomers**: - Position isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the position of a functional group or a double bond. - In this case, both compounds have the same molecular formula (C4H8), but we need to check the position of the double bond. 3. **Analyzing the Double Bond**: - In but-1-ene, the double bond is between the first and second carbon atoms. - In 2-methylprop-1-ene, the double bond is also between the first and second carbon atoms (when considering the carbon chain). - Thus, the position of the double bond remains the same in both compounds. 4. **Conclusion on Assertion**: - Since the position of the double bond does not differ, the assertion that they are position isomers is **false**. 5. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that position isomers have the same molecular formula but different arrangements of carbon atoms. - While it is true that position isomers have the same molecular formula, the arrangement of carbon atoms must also include the position of the double bond or functional group. 6. **Conclusion on Reason**: - The reason is also **incorrect** because it does not accurately describe the nature of position isomers. 7. **Final Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and reason are incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is that both the assertion and reason are false. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and reason are incorrect.

To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that but-1-ene and 2-methylprop-1-ene are position isomers. - **But-1-ene** has the structure: CH2=CH-CH2-CH3. - **2-Methylprop-1-ene** has the structure: CH2=C(CH3)-CH2-CH3. ...
