Time management is very much important in IIT JAM. The eduncle test series for IIT JAM Mathematical Statistics helped me a lot in this portion. I am very thankful to the test series I bought from eduncle.

Actually in the cis isomer there is a repulsive force acting between the molecules but when we see the trans structure there is a compact structure, there is less repulsive force... so due to this repulsive force the molecules in cis isomer will be farther from each other and hence will be more soluble. In general : cis isomers have higher solublility in inert solvents and trans isomers have lower solubility in inert solvents. Check dipole moments factor also 👇

another reason of greater solubility of cis isomer is dipole moment

In the cis form there is a repulsive force acting between the molecules but trans form, there is a compact structure, there is less repulsive force... so due to this repulsive force the molecules in cis isomer will be farther from each other and hence will be more soluble.
