Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 37. (2)
Solution:
- (7) As given in the question 3 stereocentres are visible, i.e.
Hence, the total number of stereoisomers $=2^{3}=8$
But out of these the following one is optically inactive due to symmetry
Hence, total number of optically active stereoisomers $=7$
