Which of the following statements are correct ?A. A meso compound has chiral centres but ehibits no optical activityB. A racemic mixture is optically inactive because of two equal and opposite rotation of same isomers, of the molecules in the mixtureC. A meso compound has molecules which are superimpossable on their mirror images even though they contain chiral centresD. A meso compound is optically inactive because the rotation caused by any molecule is cancelled by an equal and opposite rotation caused by another molecules that is the mirror image of the first
