Ans. Diastereomers. Sol. cis- and trans-3-methylcyclohexan-1-ol. In the first chair both substituents are equatorial (both on the same face : cis-1,3); in the second OH is axial while CH 3 stays equatorial (opposite faces : trans-1,3). Both substituted ring carbons are stereocentres, and cis/trans isomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror images : diastereomers.
