Solution
The correct option is A 6, 5
Enantiomers bearing similar physical properties do not undergo fractional distillation they remain as a single fraction.
Diastereomers undergo fractional distillation and in the above products formed, only structure 3 is diasteromer and can be separated in two fractions.
So the total number of fractions formed are 5.
