Only symmetrical alkanes are prepared using wurtz reaction. So only CH3-CH3 and CH3- overset underset|.CH3CH- overset underset|.CH3CH-CH3 can be prepared using this reaction.

Q. Consider the following compounds :
$C H_{4}, C H_{3} - C H_{3}, C H_{3} O H, C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{3}, C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$

How many compounds can be prepared by Wurtz reaction in high yield?

Only symmetrical alkanes are prepared using wurtz reaction.
So only $C H_{3} - C H_{3}$ and $C H_{3} - C H ∣ C H_{3} - C H ∣ C H_{3} - C H_{3}$ can be prepared using this reaction.

Q. Consider the following compounds : CH4​,CH3​−CH3​,CH3​OH,CH3​−CH2​−CH3​,CH3​−CH2​−CH2​−CH2​−CH3​ How many compounds can be prepared by Wurtz reaction in high yield?

Only symmetrical alkanes are prepared using wurtz reaction. So only CH3​−CH3​ and CH3​−CH∣CH3​​−CH∣CH3​​−CH3​ can be prepared using this reaction.
