The Newman projection given below corresponds to the compound

Option (a). Explanation: The given molecule is cis-decalin in Newman projection, if we number the carbon atoms of both the rings, as shown below. Here, C₄, C₆ and C₉ are representing carbon on the backside of C₃, C₁ and C₈ respectively. On converting the above conformation into chair form, we get: The above chair-form can be converted into bicycle form as follows:

Answer

Answer (as printed): A

Explanation

The given molecule is cis-decalin in Newman projection, if we number the carbon atoms of both the rings, as shown below. Here, $\mathrm{C_{4}}$, $\mathrm{C_{6}}$ and $\mathrm{C_{9}}$ are representing carbon on the backside of $\mathrm{C_{3}}$, $\mathrm{C_{1}}$ and $\mathrm{C_{8}}$ respectively. On converting the above conformation into chair form, we get: The above chair-form can be converted into bicycle form as follows:
