structure

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Ans. (A) Yes, it is a meso compound.

Sol. The compound is cis-1,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane (all three methyl groups on the same side). Its mirror image is superimposable on the original, and the molecule has an internal plane of symmetry passing through C2 and C5 (bisecting the ring), so it is meso.
