The general formula of isomeric ketone having molecular mass 100 is $C_{6} H_{12} O [6 x 12 + 12 x 1 + 16]$ .

1] Will not give a racemic mixture on reduction with $N a B H_{4}$ .

this ketone have chiral center will give diastereoisomer.

2] Will give a racemic mixture on reduction with $N a B H_{4}$

3] Will give a racemic mixture on reduction with $N a B H_{4}$

4] Will give a racemic mixture on reduction with $N a B H_{4}$

5] Will give a racemic mixture on reduction with $N a B H_{4}$

6] Will give a racemic mixture on reduction with $N a B H_{4}$
