See explanation below
Explanation:
The first two pictures show the reagents used in these reactions a) and b). As it was stated, An E2 reaction proceeds with an antiperiplanar stereochemistry, so in the case of reaction a) it fill form a product with the groups in opposite directions. In other words, a Trans product.
In the case of reaction b) we have the same reaction, with the difference that we have changed the CH3 and phenyl group of positions. This will cause that the reaction will proceed the same but the stereochemistry of the final product will be changed too. In this case, and according to the picture 3 attached, we can see that the product formed is a cis product. So we can conclude that the relation of product a) and b) is that they are isomers, the trans and cis isomers respectively. See picture below for mechanism and products
