Delhi UMET/DPMTDelhi UMET/DPMT 2009

Solution:

[a] $\underset{\text{2,2- dimethyl butane}}{CH_3CH_2 - \underset{\overset{|}{C}H_3}{\overset{\underset{|}{C}H_3}{C}} - CH_3}$
[b] $ \underset{\text{2 - methyl pentane}}{CH_3CH_2CH_2 - \overset{\underset{|}{C}H_3}{CH} - CH_3}$
[c] $ \underset{\text{3 - methylpentane}}{CH_3CH_2 - \overset{\underset{|}{C}H_3}{CH} - CH_2CH_3}$
[d]
