Paragraph: PP and QQ are isomers of dicarboxylic acid C4H4O4\mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{4} \mathrm{O}_{4}. Both decolorize Br2/H2O\mathrm{Br}_{2} / \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}. On heating, P\boldsymbol{P} forms the cyclic anhydride. Upon treatment with dilute alkaline KMnO4,P\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}, \boldsymbol{P} as well as Q\boldsymbol{Q} could produce one or more than one from S,T\boldsymbol{S}, \boldsymbol{T} and U\boldsymbol{U}. Paragraph: P and Q are isomers of dicarboxylic acid C_ 4 H_ 4 O_ 4 . Both decolorize Br_ 2 / H_ 2 O . On heating, P

Question: Compounds formed from P\boldsymbol{P} and Q\boldsymbol{Q} are, respectively

Options

  1. AOptically active S and optically active pair (T,U)
  2. BOptically inactive S and optically inactive pair (T,U)
  3. COptically active pair (T,U) and optically active S
  4. DOptically inactive pair (T,U) and optically inactive S

Correct answer

B. Optically inactive S and optically inactive pair (T,U)
