Question

Which of the following hydrocarbons undergo addition reactions with hydrogen?

This question was previously asked in
RRB Group D 2025 Question Paper (9-Aug-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Unsaturated hydrocarbons

Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain carbon-carbon double or triple bonds, which can open up to add hydrogen atoms, undergoing addition reactions with hydrogen (hydrogenation) to form saturated hydrocarbons.

Hence, this is the correct answer.
