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.

Resonance energy is higher in compound-1 than compound-2 because of cross conjunction. Kindly accept my answer!
2nd one have extended conjugation.. and its higher energy then cross conjugation.... then how 1st one
In the question it's asked about resonance energy. Not the energy of the molecule.
1st one have extended conjunction but in 2nd one you have cross conjunction.
Look at the 1st molecule if conjunction starts from lowest alkene it will continue till reach the ketone mean while in the 2nd molecule both the alkene can't resonate simultaneously with ketone.
