Which of the following belongs to the homologous series of $\mathrm{C}_5 \mathrm{H}_8 \mathrm{O}_2 \mathrm{~N}$ ?
  1. $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{O}_3 \mathrm{~N}$
  2. $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_{8} \mathrm{O}_2 \mathrm{~N}_2$
  3. $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{O}_2 \mathrm{~N}_2$
  4. $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{O}_2 \mathrm{~N}$

Solution

The general formula for this series is $\mathrm{C}_n \mathrm{H}_{2 n-2}$. Hence, $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{O}_2 \mathrm{~N}$ belongs to the given homologous series.
