List - I (Abbreviation of fatty acids) List - II (Common name of fatty acids) A. 10 : 0 I. Palmitic acid B. 12 : 0 II. Myristic acid C. 14 : 0 III. Lauric acid D. 16 : 0 IV. Capric acid
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
The question requires matching the abbreviations of common saturated fatty acids (List-I) with their respective common names (List-II).
The notation used, such as $10:0$, follows the format $X:Y$, where:
In this case, all fatty acids listed have $Y=0$, indicating they are saturated fatty acids (containing no carbon-carbon double bonds).
We match each abbreviation in List-I to its corresponding common name in List-II:
Based on the matching above, the correct combination is:
A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
