Solution
The correct option is A 1 The molecular formula C7H12 indicates two degrees of unsaturation. It can be either two pi bonds or two rings or a pi bond and a ring. But on hydrogenation two molcules of hydrogen are added to give C7H16. This indicates presence of two pi bonds. Hence, the molecule is acyclic in nature.
