Answer

(i) and (iii)

Explanation

Solution

: CH3OCH2CH2CH3\mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } - \mathrm { O } - \mathrm { CH } _ { 2 } \mathrm { CH } _ { 2 } \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } and

CH3CH2OCH2CH3\mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { CH } _ { 2 } - \mathrm { O } - \mathrm { CH } _ { 2 } \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } are metamers.

(ii). And,

(iv) i.e.,CH3CH2CH2CH2OH\mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { CH } _ { 2 } \mathrm { CH } _ { 2 } \mathrm { CH } _ { 2 } \mathrm { OH } and

are position isomers.
