Solution
The correct options are A dil.H2SO4 B cold,dil.KMnO4/OH− CBr2−H2O
dil. H2SO4 absorbs alkene thus it can be used to distinguish between alkane and alkene,
Alkene dicolourise brown colour of Br2−H2O solution and alkene decolourises the purple colour of cold, dil. alkaline KMnO4. Thus option A,B, and C are correct answer.
