Answer:
The stable conformers of trans-1,3-dimethyl cyclohexane is 1-equatorial-3-equatorial form.
1,3-diequatorial conformation is most stable as the steric interactions are minimum.
1,3-diaxial conformation is least stable as the steric interactions are maximum.

The order of stability of iosmers of 1, 3 dimethyl cyclohexane -
1-eq, 3-eq methyl groups > 1-eq, 3-axial methyl groups > 1-axial, 3-axial methyl groups.
Explanation:
- The cyclohexane can be drawn as its chair form as it is most stable.
- The two methyl groups can be present on the positions- both equitorial, both axial, one equitorial and one axial.
- The methyl groups when present at equitorial positions, experience the least steric hinderance and are the most stable.
- When they are at the axial positions, they experience the maximum steric hinderance, and are the least stable.
- If one is at axial and one is at equitorial, the steric repulsion is less than as compared to axial positions.
- Therefore, the order of stabiliy is:
1-eq, 3-eq methyl groups > 1-eq, 3-axial methyl groups > 1-axial, 3-axial
methyl groups.
