Number of geometrical isomers of the compound CH₃-CH=C=CH-CH=CH-Cl are :

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Only the CH=CH-Cl double bond shows geometrical isomerism (E and Z). The cumulated C=C=C unit contains an even number of double bonds, so the groups at its ends lie in the same plane relationship that gives axial (optical) isomerism, not geometrical isomerism.
