Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their boiling points.

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

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

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

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

<p><span data-teams="true">This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar</span></p><p>The Correct Answer is Option (iii).</p><p>Isomeric alkyl halides' boiling points are related to their branching, with a reduction in B.P. as branching increases. As a result, the boiling point of the tertiary isomer is the lowest, while that of the primary isomer is the highest. Thus, the order of lowering boiling points is (b) &gt; (a) &gt; (c).</p>
