Q. The compound which does not exhibit geometrical isomerism, is

UPSEEUPSEE 2010

Solution:

In case of acyclic compounds, presence of atleast one double bond between two carbon atoms or between carbon and nitrogen atoms is an essential condition for exhibiting geometrical isomerism. In case of cyclic compounds, different groups are present at the same carbon atoms and atleast one same group is present at successive carbon atoms.

image does not satisfy these conditions, thus it does not exhibit geometrical isomerism.
