MCQ
An aqueous solution containing compounds $A$ and $B$ shows optical activity. $A$ and $B$ are stereoisomers. Which of the following possibilities cannot be  correct ? 
  • $A$ has two chiral centers, but $B$ does not have any because it has a symmetry plane
  • B
    $A$ and $B$ are enantiomers
  • C
    $A$ and $B$ are diastereomers
  • D
    $A$ and $B$ are not present in equal amounts

Answer

Correct option: A.
$A$ has two chiral centers, but $B$ does not have any because it has a symmetry plane
a
$(a)$ Compound $'B'$ may be meso but meso has plane of symmetry with chiral centres.
