Answer #1

The correct answer is option D that is Ⅲ < Ⅰ < Ⅳ < Ⅱ

EXPLANATION:

The boiling point of the compound depend on the relative strength of the intermolecular forces present .

The order of the kind of intermolecular forces is

ionic bond > hydrogen bond > dipole dipole > vander waals dispersion

Now , in CH3COCH3 dipole dipole interaction is present since C=O bond is polar

In KCl ionic interaction is peesent

In Kr dispersion forces are present

In CH3CH(OH)CH3 hydrogen bonding is present .

THus the order of increasing boiling point will be

Kr < CH3COCH3 < CH3CH(OH)CH3 < KCl
