Solution

The correct option is A b d e c f a
The steps involved can be written as:
i) Hydrolysis of calcium carbide to give acetylene as:
CaC2+2H2OC2H2+Ca(OH)2
ii) Hydration of acetylene in the presence of HgSO4andH2SO4 as:
HCCHHg2+,H+−−−−−CH3CHO
iii) Acetaldehyde is converted to methyl alcohol as:
CH3CHOK2Cr2O7−−−−CH3COOHNaOH−−−CH3COONaPCl5−−CH3ClKOH−−CH3OH
