- DA-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
Correct answer
A. A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II
Step-by-step solution
Let us analyze each pair of compounds: A. Ethoxyethane ( CH ₃ CH ₂- O - CH ₂ CH ₃ ) and 1-Methoxypropane ( CH ₃- O - CH ₂ CH ₂ CH ₃ ) have the same molecular formula ( C ₄ H ₁₀ O ) and the same polyvalent functional group (ether) but differ in the alkyl groups attached to the oxygen atom. This is an example of metamerism. (A IV) B. Pentan-1-ol and 3-Methylbutan-1-ol have the same molecular formula ( C ₅ H ₁₂ O ) and the same functional group ( - OH ) at the same position, but they differ in the length of the princi
