  1. $\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{O}\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ||\\\text{CH}_3-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2-\text{C}-\text{H}$

  2. $\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{O}\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ||\\\text{CH}_3-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2-\text{C}-\text{CH}_3$

  3. $\text{CH}_3-\text{CH}_2-\text{C}-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_3\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ||\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{O}$

  4. $\text{CH}_3-\text{CH}-\text{CH}_2-\text{C}-\text{H}\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ||\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{CH}_3\ \ \ \ \ \text{O}$

Which of the following pairs are position isomers?

    Answer

    1. II and III

    Explanation:

    In position isomerism, two or more compounds differ in the position of substituent, functional group or multiple bonds but molecular formula is same. In pentanone-2 and pentanone-3, position of ketonic group is different. CH3-CH2CH2-CO-CH3 and CH3-CH2-CO-CH2-CH3
