Solution

The correct option is B $4, 6$
4 structural and 6 geometrical isomers are possible for dimethyl cyclohexane. They are as shown. Structural isomers differ in the position of two methyl groups. In geometrical isomers, for cis isomer, two methyl groups are on the same side of the ring whereas in trans isomer, two methyl groups are on opposite side of the ring.
