Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion Trans-Pent-2-ene is polar but trans-but-2 -ene is non-polar. The probability of cis-isomer is more than trans-isomer , which are either non-polar or less polar. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion. The vector sum of all polar bonds in trans-pent-2-ene is not zero while in trans-but-2-ene it is zero. Trans-but-2-ene has center of inversion. Thus it is symmetrical in nature.
