Solution
Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
When two or more compounds differ in the position of substituent atom or functional group on the carbon skeleton, they are known as position isomers and this phenomenon is termed as position isomerism. Pent-2-ene and pent-l-ene are position isomers because they differ in the position of the double bond.
