MHT CET 2023 Chemistry question

Which from the following methods of structural formula representation uses conventionally a point for front carbon and a circle around it for rear carbon?

(A)Andiron formula
(B)Condensed formula
(C)Newman projection formulaCorrect
(D)Fisher projection formula

Answer: (C)

Solution

In a Newman projection the molecule is viewed along a C-C bond axis. The carbon nearer to the observer (front carbon) is shown as a point (the centre where its three bonds meet) and the carbon farther away (rear carbon) is shown as a circle around that point, with its three bonds starting from the
