Statements I and III are correct, while statement II is incorrect.
It's correct form is as follows :
When two or more compounds differ in the position of substituent atom or functional group on the carbon skeleton, they are called position isomers.

I, II and III

Both II and III

Only III

Both I and III

Statements I and III are correct, while statement II is incorrect. It's correct form is as follows : When two or more compounds differ in the position of substituent atom or functional group on the carbon skeleton, they are called position isomers.
