Statement 1 The geometrical isomer of the complex are optically inactive. Statement 2 Both geometrical isomers of the complex possess axis of symmetry.
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:

There are plane of symmetry in addition to that there is alternate axis of symmetry which also causes their optical inactivity.
A molecule possesses fold alternating axis of symmetry, if when rotated through an angle of about the axis and then followed by reflection in a plane perpendicular to the axis, the molecule is indistinguishable from the original molecule.
