In the Newman projection for 1,2-dibromopropane, X and Y can respectively be :

(A) and H (B) and
(C) and (D) H and
Options:(select one or more)
Answer:
B, D
Solution:
Ans : (B, D).
Put the values of X and Y in each structure and read off the carbon skeleton :
(A) :

The front carbon carries , H, H and the back carbon carries , H, H : the molecule is (1,2-dibromoethane) - only two carbons, so it is not 1,2-dibromopropane.
(B) :

The molecule is = 1,2-dibromopropane - correct.
(C) :

The molecule is (1,1-dibromoethane) - both bromines on the same carbon, so it is not 1,2-dibromopropane.
(D) :

The molecule is = 1,2-dibromopropane, viewed from the end - correct.
Hence X and Y can be and , or H and : (B) and (D).
