Answer: (B) (B) a is elimination, b is substitution and c is addition reaction. In (a) alcoholic removes from giving the alkene — a -elimination (dehydrohalogenation).

  1. A.(A) a and b are elimination reactions and c is addition reaction
  2. B.(B) a is elimination, b is substitution and c is addition reaction✓
  3. C.(C) a is elimination, b and c are substitution reactions
  4. D.(D) a is substitution, b and c are addition reactions

Correct Answer

(B) (B) a is elimination, b is substitution and c is addition reaction

Solution & Explanation

In (a) alcoholic removes from giving the alkene — a -elimination (dehydrohalogenation). In (b) aqueous supplies which replaces to give the alcohol — a nucleophilic substitution. In (c) adds across the C=C of cyclohexene to give the vicinal dibromide — electrophilic addition. So a = elimination, b = substitution, c = addition.
