Which of the following correctly ranks the cycloalkanes in order of increasing ring strain per methylene?

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Per-CH₂ strain : cyclohexane is strain-free (0); cycloheptane has a little torsional/steric strain; cyclobutane has large angle strain (~90°); cyclopropane has the largest (60° angles plus eclipsing). Hence cyclohexane cycloheptane cyclobutane cyclopropane.
