The products are given below,

b)

Step by step solution

01

Estimation of product

a) In case of the 1st reaction, CH3O- is strong base, so it will undergo substitution through SN2 mechanism to produce inverted product and also undergoes elimination reaction through E2 mechanism.

b) In case of the 2nd reaction, and the base is weak, E1 among elimination and SN1 among substitution reaction occur. SN1 produces two racemic mixtures.

SN1 reaction

E1 reaction
