JEE Main 29 June 2022, Shift 2, Chemistry Q75

Question 75 of 90 in this shift, Chemistry question 15 of 30, Section A.

Two isomers (A) and (B) with Molar mass 184 g/mol and elemental composition C, 52.2% ; H, 4.9 % and Br 42.9%, respectively on oxidation with KMnO4\mathrm{KMnO_4}. Isomer ‘A’ is optically active and gives a pale yellow precipitate when warmed with alcoholic AgNO3\mathrm{AgNO_3}. Isomer ‘A’ and ‘B’ are, respectively
