Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their boiling points

(i) 

(ii) CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}CH_{2}Br

(iii) 

(i) (b) < (a) < (c)

(ii) (a) < (b) < (c)

(iii) (c) < (a) < (b)

(iv) (c) < (b) < (a)

Option (iii) (c) < (a) < (b) is correct.  Here the given alkanes are isomeric. Therefore isomeric alkane’s boiling point decreases with increase in branching. When the branching of an alkane increases, the surface area decreases. This causes a decrease in intermolecular force.
