Which of the following is metamer of the given compound (X) ? 

- A

- B

- C

- D

View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
The question asks for the metamer of a given compound , but the crucial information is missing:
- The structure/name/formula of compound is not provided.
- The option structures for A, B, C, and D are also blank.
Without these, the answer cannot be determined from chemistry principles alone.
Step 1: What is metamerism?
Metamers are compounds that have:
- the same molecular formula,
- the same functional group,
- but different alkyl groups on either side of a polyvalent atom or functional group such as , , , etc.
For example, in ethers: can give metamers like:
Step 2: Why this question cannot be solved as given
To identify the metamer, we must compare the given compound with the options and check:
- same molecular formula,
- same functional group,
- different distribution of carbon chains.
But here, neither nor the options are visible.
Step 3: Comparison with stored answer
The stored correct answer is C, but since the actual structures are missing, I cannot independently verify that option C is correct.
So, based only on the information shown, the problem is underdetermined.
