Directions : In the following question more than one of the answers given may be correct. Select the correct answer and mark it according to the code:

Only one monochloro derivative is formed by the monochlorination of (1) butane                           (2) ethane (3) iso-pentane                 (4) neo-pentane

A)  1, 2 and 3 are correct

B)  1 and 2 are correct

C)  2 and 4 are correct

D)  1 and 3 are correct

Correct Answer: C

Solution :

                 Compounds having only one kind of hydrogen, gives only one monochloro derivative on monochlorination. (1) (2) \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}\xrightarrow[{}]{C{{l}_{2}}}\underset{(one\,monochloro\,derivative)}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}Cl}}\,\] (3) (4)
