c.

d.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

(a) The IUPAC name of the given compound i.e.  is $2-methylhexane$

(b) The IUPAC name of the given compound i.e.  is $2-bromo-3-methylhep\tan e$

(c) The IUPAC name of the given compound i.e.  is $3,4-diethylhexane$

(d) The IUPAC name of the given compound i.e.  is $1-methylcyclohexane$

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

We need the find the IUPAC name of the given compound i.e. 

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

We know that

IUPAC name is the name of a compound that is used worldwide and written according to some rules and regulations some of which are

• The element with higher preference is given the lowest no. 
• The chain with a higher no. of carbon atoms is chosen 

So, the IUPAC name is,

$2-methylhexane$

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

We need the find the IUPAC name of the given compound i.e. 

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

We know that

IUPAC name is the name of a compound that is used worldwide and written according to some rules and regulations some of which are

• The element with higher preference is given the lowest no. 
• The chain with a higher no. of carbon atoms is chosen 

So, the IUPAC name is,

$2-bromo-3-methylhep\tan e$

Part (c) Step 1: Given information

We need the find the IUPAC name of the given compound i.e. 

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation

We know that

IUPAC name is the name of a compound that is used worldwide and written according to some rules and regulations some of which are

• The element with higher preference is given the lowest no. 
• The chain with a higher no. of carbon atoms is chosen 

So, the IUPAC name is,
$3,4-diethylhexane$

Part (d) Step 1: Given information

We need the find the IUPAC name of the given compound i.e. 

Part (d) Step 2: Explanation

We know that

IUPAC name is the name of a compound that is used worldwide and written according to some rules and regulations some of which are

• The element with higher preference is given the lowest no. 
• The chain with a higher no. of carbon atoms is chosen 

So, the IUPAC name is,

$1-methylcyclohexane$
