• A. 5
• B. 7
• C. 6
• D. 8
• E. 9

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Total number of monohalogenated products of $2,4,4$ -trimethylhexane are six.



(i) 2 monohalogenated products by replacing two $-C{H}_3$ groups at $C_2$ and $C_4$ position.

(ii) 4 monohalogenated products by replacing $H$ by $Cl$ at $C_2,C_3,C_5,C_6$ positions. Thus, total 6 isomers are possible.
