Question

Which of the following reactions will give the major and minor products?
\[C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} |\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \\ Br\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH-}}\,C{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow[\text{heat}]{alc.\,KOH}\]
$$C{H_3} - \mathop {CH = CH}\limits_{\left( A \right)} - C{H_3} + C{H_3}$$       $$ - \mathop {C{H_2} - CH}\limits_{\left( B \right)} = C{H_2}$$

A. $$(A)$$  is major product and $$(B)$$  is minor product.  
B. $$(A)$$  is minor product and $$(B)$$  is major product.
C. Both $$(A)$$  and $$(B)$$  are major products.
D. Only $$(B)$$  is formed and $$(A)$$  is not formed.
Answer :   $$(A)$$  is major product and $$(B)$$  is minor product.
Solution :
According to Saytzeff's rule, the more substituted product is more stable and is formed as major product. Hence $$(A)$$  is the major product (80%) while $$(B)$$  is the minor (20%) and less stable product.
