Direction (Q. Nos. 19-20) Consider the following four compounds (I) `CH_(3) - CH_(2) - CH_(2) - CH_(2) - overset(O)overset(||)(C) - H` (II) `CH_(3) - CH_(2) - CH_(2) - overset(O)overset(||)(C) - CH_(3)` (III) `CH_(3) - CH_(2) - underset(O)underset(||)(C) - CH_(2) - CH_(3)` (IV) `CH_(3) - underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(CH) - CH_(2) - underset(O)underset(||)(C) - H` Which of the following pairs are position isomers ?A. I and IIB. II and IIIC. II and IVD. III and IV

Answer» Correct Answer - B
When two or more compounds differ in the position of substituent atom or functional group on the carbon skeleton, they are called position isomers
`CH_(3) - CH_(2) - CH_(2) - overset(O)overset(||)(C) - CH_(3)` (II)
`CH_(3) - CH_(2) - underset(O)underset(||)(C) - CH_(2) - CH_(3)` (III)
Here, position of `-underset(O)underset(||)(C) - ` vaires. Thus, II and III are position isomers
