NEET levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 1 of 3si236

How many 1H NMR signals does the compound shown give? Chemically equivalent hydrogens give one signal; ignore coupling and axial/equatorial differences.

A $2$
B $3$
C $4$
D $5$

Answer: C

The compound shown is toluene:

CH X_{3}

, ortho H (2), meta H (2) and para H give 4 sets, so 4 signals.
