The reaction that we are considering here is quite a knotty reaction. It is difficult to decide if the mechanism is actually E1 or E2 since both are equally probable based on the mass of scientific evidence regarding this reaction. However, we can easily assume that the methylenecyclohexane was formed by an E1 mechanism.

Looking at the products, one could convincingly assert that the reaction leading to the formation of the two main products proceeds via an E1 mechanism with the formation of a carbocation intermediate as has been shown in mechanism attached to this answer. Possible rearrangement of the carbocation yields the 3-methylcyclohexene product.

Answer:

V ∝ abc

Explanation:

This task is a joint variation task involving only direct proportionality:

Direct variation is one in which two variables are in direct proportionality to each other. This means that as one increases, the other variable also increases and vice - versa.

Joint variation is one in which one variable is dependent on two or more variables and varies directly as each of them.

In this exercise:

If a ∝ b and a ∝ c, then a ∝ bc

Taking the above three proportionalities,

V ∝ a ∝ b ∝ c

V ∝ a ∝ bc

V ∝ abc
