I has one chiral carbon = two isomers II has two chiral carbons and no symmetry = four isomers. III and IV have no chiral carbon, no stereoisomers.

Q. The maximum number of isomers (including stereoisomers) that are possible on mono-chlorination of the following compound, is CH3​CH2​CH(CH3​)CH2​CH2​

I has one chiral carbon = two isomers II has two chiral carbons and no symmetry = four isomers. III and IV have no chiral carbon, no stereoisomers.

Q. The maximum number of isomers (including stereoisomers)
that are possible on mono-chlorination of the following
compound, is $C H_{3} C H_{2} C H (C H_{3}) C H_{2} C H_{2}$

I has one chiral carbon = two isomers
II has two chiral carbons and no symmetry = four isomers.
III and IV have no chiral carbon, no stereoisomers.
