Detailed Solution

The number of geometrical isomers optical possible for the compound with the structure CH3CH=CHCH=CHCH2CHOHCH3

step 1:- find the carbon-carbon (double) bonds
step 2:- find the chiral carbon 
step 3:- form different sets of cis and trans of all the sets of carbons 
step 4:- no of isomers is 2n (n=no of double-bonded carbon sets)

In this case n=3, thus the number of isomers is 8.
