The given compound is being synthesized by condensing Acetone and Pivaldehyde (Trimethylacetaldehyde).
First Acetone is treated with Base, the base abstracts the mildly acidic proton present at alpha position to carbonyl group. The resulting specie called enolate act as a nucleophile and attacks on highly reactive aldehyde which upon dehydration yields the Aldol Product. The Reaction is as follow,

Answer: The equilibrium constant for the overall reaction is
Explanation:
Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios.
a)
b)
For overall reaction on adding a and b we get c
c)
The equilibrium constant for the overall reaction is
