Answer» Solution :ACCORDING to Saytzeff rule, alkyl halides undergo dehydrohalogenation to give more highly SUBSTITUTED ALKENE as the major product. Thus, the halide (1),(2) and (3) undergo dehydrohalogenation in the presence of `NaOEt//EtOH` to yield 3,4,4-trimethylpent-2-ene(III) and 1-methycyclohexana (V) repectively as more products. (ii)
