there are six isomers are possible for this compound.
we have to find the total number of all possible isomers for this compound.
solution : An organic compound C8H10O2 rotates plane polarized light, it produce pink colour with neutral FeCl3 solution. it means, compound C8H10O2 corresponds positively to neutral FeCl3 so it will be a phenolic compound.
Therefore are three structures ( ortho meta para) which can be formed by changing position of -CH(CH3)-OH. and each structure has two optical isomers ( Dextro and levo ).
Therefore total number of isomers is 3 × 2 = 6
