You forgot to put the picture to do so. In this case, I manage to find one, and I hope is the one you are looking for. If not, then post it again and I'll gladly help you out again.
According to the picture with the answer, we have a cyclohexane with 4 methyl groups there. Two of them are facing towards the molecule with a darker bond. This means that the alkyl bromide, should have a bromine in one of the bonds, and in order to produce an E2 reaction, this bromine should be facing in the opposite direction of the methyl groups which are facing towards. This is because an E2 reaction occurs with the less steric hindrance in the molecule. If the bromine is in the same direction as the methyl group, it will cause a lot more of work to do a reaction, and therefore, an E2 reaction. I will promote instead a E1 or a sustitution product.
Therefore the alkyl bromide should be like the one in the picture 2.
Among formic acid (HCOOH ) and sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), formic acid is the weak acid. Acidic strength of any acid is the tendency of that acid to loose proton. Among these two acids formic acid has a pKa value of 3.74 greater than that of sulfuric acid i.e. -10. Remember! Greater the pKa value of acid weaker is that acid and vice versa. Below I have drawn the Ionization of both acids to corresponding conjugate bases and protons. The structures below with charges are drawn in order to explain the reason for strength. As it is seen in charged structure of formic acid, there is one positive charge on carbon next to oxygen carrying proton. The electron density is shifted toward carbon as it is electron deficient and demands more electron hence, attracting electron density from oxygen and making the oxygen hydrogen bond more polar. While, in case of sulfuric acid it is depicted that Sulfur attached to oxygen containing proton has 2+ charge, means more electron deficient as compared to carbon of formic acid, hence, more electron demanding and strongly attracting electrons from oxygen and making the oxygen hydrogen bond very polar and highly ionizable.
