Vedclass · Answer

(B) Metamerism is a type of structural isomerism that arises due to the different distribution of alkyl groups on either side of the same polyvalent functional group (such as $-O-$,$-S-$,$-NH-$,$-CO-$,$-N < $).
$1.$ Option $(A)$ shows functional isomers (ester and carboxylic acid).
$2.$ Option $(B)$ shows metamers because the alkyl groups attached to the nitrogen atom are different: $N,N$-diethylmethylamine (groups: $CH_3, C_2H_5, C_2H_5$) and $N,N$-dimethylpropylamine (groups: $CH_3, CH_3, C_3H_7$).
$3.$ Option $(C)$ shows position isomers.
$4.$ Option $(D)$ shows chain isomers.
Therefore,the correct pair of metamers is given in option $(B)$.
