Concept introduction:
All aromatic compounds are derivatives of benzene. The benzene ring accounts for six carbon atoms. The remaining carbons can be attached as alkyl group like methyl, ethyl etc. to the benzene ring.
To propose:

Answer to Problem 23AP
A possible structure for the hydrocarbon with molecular formula C9H12 that gives only one monobromination product C9H11Br on substitution of a hydrogen atom on the aromatic ring with bromine is
Explanation of Solution
The molecular formula of the compound is C9H12. Benzene ring accounts for six carbons. When the three carbons remaining are arranged as three methyl groups alternatively on the benzene ring the three hydrogens on the other three carbons become equivalent. Hence upon bromination, the hydrocarbon gives only one monosubstituted product.

Answer to Problem 23AP
A possible structure for the hydrocarbon with molecular formula C10H14 that gives only one monochlorination product, C10H13Cl, on substitution of a hydrogen atom on the aromatic ring with chlorine is
Explanation of Solution
The molecular formula of the hydrocarbon is C10H14. Benzene ring accounts for six carbons. The remaining four carbons can be arranged as four methyl groups or as two ethyl groups on the benzene ring in four different ways as shown such that remaining hydrogen atoms become equivalent. Hence upon chlorination, the hydrocarbon will give only one monosubstituted product.

Answer to Problem 23AP
A possible structure for the hydrocarbon with molecular formula C8H10 that gives three monobromination products C9H11Br on substitution of a hydrogen atom on the aromatic ring with bromine is
Explanation of Solution
The molecular formula of the hydrocarbon is C8H10. Benzene ring accounts for six carbons. When the two carbons remaining are arranged as two methyl groups meta to each other or as an ethyl group on the benzene ring hydrogens on the other carbon atoms in the ring classify themselves into three different groups. Hence upon bromination, the hydrocarbon gives three monosubstituted products.

Answer to Problem 23AP
Possible structure for the hydrocarbon with molecular formula C10H10 that gives two monobromination products, C10H13Cl, on substitution of a hydrogen atom on the aromatic ring with chlorine is
Explanation of Solution
The molecular formula of the compound is C10H14. Benzene ring accounts for six carbons. The four carbons remaining can be arranged as two ethyl groups or as an ethyl & two methyl groups or as propyl & methyl groups or as isopropyl & methyl groups on the benzene ring as shown so that the hydrogens on the other carbon atoms in the ring classify themselves into two different groups. Hence upon chlorination, the hydrocarbon gives two monosubstituted products.
