Question

When neo-pentyl alcohol is treated with H2SO4, a mixture of two alkenes (85: 15) is formed. Which statement/s is/are correct about these alkenes? (A) Both give same major product with HBr. (B) Both give same products (major) with HBr R2O2/light. (C) The alkene which is formed in 85% concentration has higher heat of hydrogenation than the other one obtained in 15% concentration. (D) Both give same product on ozonolysis.
