From left because when you are numbering the priority first goes to functional group then substitutes and other things.


saanya88: Yes the naming is 4 methyl pentanol
saanya88: But my question is why is it pent since pent means 5 right? Shouldn’t it be 4 methyl- methanol ?
arpitasahani: No no
arpitasahani: Priority should always be given to functional grp
arpitasahani: CH3 is methyl
arpitasahani: Jab left se counting hota hai tab
arpitasahani: 4 methyl hota hai
arpitasahani: Got it #sanya
saanya88: Thank you!
arpitasahani: Wlcm dear

Start form nearest to OH as it's alcohol and.a functional group so should be prioritized
