Solution
The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect NaOH dissociates to form Na+ and OH−. While OH− replaces Br− from the compound, the carbocation is formed and since 30-carbocation is better than 20-carbocation, shifting will take place.
So, the product gives as major is actually minor.
Therefore, both Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
