    Ethylidene dibromide\[\xrightarrow{A}CH\equiv CH\,\,A\]is

    A) \[aq.KOH\]                        

    B) \[alc.KOH\]

    C) \[conc.{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]                      

    D)  All of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  ethylidene \\  dibromide \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CHBr}}\,\xrightarrow[-2KBr,\,\,-2{{H}_{2}}O]{Alc.KOH}\underset{acetylene}{\mathop{CH\equiv CH}}\,\] Hence, \[A=Alc.KOH.\] (a dehydrohalogenating reagent).
