(i) Mono-bromination of substituted methyl on 1-methylcyclohex-1-ene.

JEE Advanced 2021 Paper 1 Online Chemistry - Basics of Organic Chemistry Question 27 English Explanation 2

Only one stereoisomer possible as compound (1) is optically active.

(ii) Mono-bromination of allylic carbon (C-3) :

C-4 is optically active on mono-bromination and gives two optically active isomers.

(iv) Mono-bromination of C-5 carbon :

JEE Advanced 2021 Paper 1 Online Chemistry - Basics of Organic Chemistry Question 27 English Explanation 5

C-5 is optically active on mono-bromination and gives two optically active isomers.

(v) Mono-bromination of C-6 carbon :

JEE Advanced 2021 Paper 1 Online Chemistry - Basics of Organic Chemistry Question 27 English Explanation 6

C-6 is optically active on mono-bromination and gives two optically active isomers.

(vi) Mono-bromination of C-1 carbon :

JEE Advanced 2021 Paper 1 Online Chemistry - Basics of Organic Chemistry Question 27 English Explanation 7

C-1 is optically active on mono-bromination and gives two optically active isomers.

(vii) Mono-bromination of C-2 carbon :

JEE Advanced 2021 Paper 1 Online Chemistry - Basics of Organic Chemistry Question 27 English Explanation 8

C-2 is optically active on mono-bromination and gives two optically active isomers.

So, maximum number of possible isomers are 13.
