JEE Main levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 2 of 3si239

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: B

The compound shown is 4-nitrotoluene:

CH X_{3}

, the two H ortho to

CH X_{3}

and the two H ortho to

NO X_{2}

give 3 signals.
