the QUES.. no. of cyclic and stereo

so ur supposed to count the cyclic structures (inclusive of whatever stereo isomers that may arise)

If the question was all isomers. then shreyan's answer would have been correct

@Manish Sir

What is wrong with alkenes shown by Shreyan

Answer is 7

The 5 structural isomers are
1. cyclopentane
2. methylcyclobutane
3. 1,1-dimethylcyclopropane
4. ethylcyclopropane
5. 1,2-dimethylcyclopropane

For 5.
If 5 is cis-isomer then 6 will be trans
if 5 is D-isomer(optical) then 7 will be its mirror image(L-isomer)
