| I. | CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – CH2 – OH |
| II. | \[\begin{array}{cc} \ce{CH3 - CH2 - CH - CH3}\\ \phantom{.....}|\\ \phantom{.......}\ce{OH} \end{array}\] |
| III. | \[\begin{array}{cc} \phantom{...}\ce{CH3}\\ \phantom{}|\\ \ce{CH3 - C - CH3}\\ \phantom{}|\\ \phantom{..}\ce{OH} \end{array}\] |
| IV. | \[\begin{array}{cc} \ce{CH3 - CH - CH2 - OH}\\ |\phantom{........}\\ \ce{CH3}\phantom{......} \end{array}\] |
| V. | CH3 – CH2 – O – CH2 – CH3 |
| VI. | CH3 – O – CH2 – CH2 – CH3 |
| VII. | \[\begin{array}{cc} \ce{CH3 - O - CH - CH3}\\ \phantom{...}|\\ \phantom{......}\ce{CH3} \end{array}\] |

Solution
If two or more compounds differ in the position of substituent, functional group, or multiple bonds but molecular formula is same then these are said to be position isomers as they exhibit position isomerism.
In the given structures, I and II, III and IV, VI and VII are found to be the position isomers.
