the correct answer to these question from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below : Assertion (A) : Following are the members of a homologous series :
CH_{3}OH, CH_{3}CH_{2}OH, CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}OH
Reason (R) : A series of compounds with same functional group but differing by – CH_{2} – unit is called a homologous series.
Option: 1 Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is correct explanation of the assertion.
