Solution
In Wurtz reaction, alkane is prepared by reducing alkyl halide using Na in dry ether. It is a coupling reaction where two alkyl group will combine to form higher alkanes.
We have 3 different alkyl halide, each will react with other to form higher alkane and each react with themselves to form higher alkanes.
The possible reactions are
