Answer 1

A= 2 chloro 2 methy butane

B= 2 chloro butane,

C= chloro propane

There are two products which can be get from A substance, the first one is more stable, as it is more substituted. Three products can be get from B substance, the first one is more stable and is in trans -from.

One product can be get from C.

We should find out which of the major products is more substituted:
