Using this formula 2^(n-4) 1

where n= no. Of carbon

2^(5-4) 1

= 2^1 1

= 2 1

= 3

therefore we have 3 isomers

Option D is the correct answer.
Even with the formula 2^(n-4)+1, the result will still give 4.
Therefore the number of isomers for the cycloalkane C5H10 is 4

The answer is 4 remember this is not an alkane its an alkene
