Q. The structure of chloramphenicol given below

If number of chiral carbon atoms in this structure is $X$ and number of $s p^{2}$ hybridised carbon atoms is $Y$ . The sum of $X + Y$ is equal to?

It has two chiral C-atoms and $7 s p^{2}$ hybridised C-atoms so X = 2, Y = 7
Hence $X + Y = 2 + 7 = 9$
