Answer #1

We assign locants to the carbons in the longest C-chain as shown above. So there are two -CH3 groups (methyl) present as substituents, one at C-2 and one at C-3. The longest C-chain of the alkane has 5 C. So the parent chain is pentane. The IUPAC name of the alkane is 2,3-dimethylpentane.
