JEE Main 2002 Chemistry question

A similarity between optical and geometrical isomerism is that

(1)each forms equal number of isomers for a given compound
(2)If in a compound one is present then so is the other
(3)both are included in stereoisomerismCorrect
(4)they have no similarity

Answer: (3)

Solution

Optical and geometrical isomers have the same structural formula and differ only in the spatial arrangement of atoms; both are therefore types of stereoisomerism, option (3). They do not in general
