The first step is anti addition of Br2 across the double bond. Solution

In the second step, EtO- ((nu)-) gets added by SN1 mechanism. And Br- from the dashed position acts as the leaving group leads to the formation of a stable benzylic carbocation. Solution

Q. What is the major product of the following reaction?

The first step is anti addition of $B r_{2}$ across the double bond.
In the second step, $Et O^{-}$ $((n u)^{-})$ gets added by $S N^{1}$ mechanism. And $B r^{-}$ from the dashed position acts as the leaving group leads to the formation of a stable benzylic carbocation.
