Question

Match List-I with List-II. 

List-I (Systematic Name)	List-II (Common Name)
(A) Dodecanoic	(I) Arachidonic
(B) cis-9-Octadecenoic	(II) Lauric
(C) cis-5, cis-8, cis-11, cis-14, cis-17 Eicosapentaenoic	(III) Oleic
(D) cis-5, cis-8, cis-11, cis-14 Eicosatetraenoic	(IV) EPA

Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

• (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)
• (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)

Hint:

"Eicosapentaenoic" translates to a 20-carbon chain ("Eicosa-") with 5 double bonds ("penta-"), which is directly abbreviated as EPA.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Fatty acids have systematic IUPAC chemical names reflecting their carbon chain length, degree of unsymmetry, and double bond positions, alongside traditional common names.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
- Dodecanoic acid (C12:0 saturated fatty acid) is commonly known as Lauric acid (II).
- cis-9-Octadecenoic acid (C18:1 monounsaturated fatty acid) is commonly known as Oleic acid (III).
- cis-5, cis-8, cis-11, cis-14, cis-17 Eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5 omega-3) is commonly known as EPA (IV).
- cis-5, cis-8, cis-11, cis-14 Eicosatetraenoic acid (C20:4 omega-6) is commonly known as Arachidonic acid (I).
This matches up as: (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I).

Step 3: Final Answer:
The correct matching corresponds to Option C.
