a: If the compound is present in (+) form, it rotates plane polarized light in anticlockwise direction and if it is present in (-) form, it rotates plane polarized light in clockwise direction with equal magnitude. b: If the compound is present in (+) form it rotates plane polarized light in clockwise direction and if it is present in (-) form, it rotates plane polarized light in anticlockwise direction with different magnitude. c: If the compound is present in (+) form it rotates plane polarized light in clockwise direction and if it is present in (-) form, it rotates plane polarized light in anticlockwise direction with same magnitude. d: Both rotates the plane polarized light in same direction with equal magnitude.

a: +20.1^o. b: +26.1^o. c: +23.1^o. d: +29.1^o.

a: Both R and S enantiomers are found in equal proportions. b: The negative sign indicates that the R enantiomer is the dominant one c: The negative sign indicates that the S enantiomer is the dominant one. d: None of the above options are correct.
