Correct Answer - (i). `"Olefin"overset(O_(3))to"ozonide"overset(2H)toCH_(3)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-undersetunderset(("Pentan-2-one"))(CH_(3))underset(|)(C)=O+underset(("ethanal"))(CH_(3)CHO)`
(ii) Thus olefin has `7` carbon atmoms with tow units round double bond
(iii) The olefin is therefore `CH_(3)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)C=O+CH-CH_(3)`
(iv) The reaction is
`CH_(3)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-undersetunderset("3-methylhex-2-ene")(CH_(3))underset(|)C=O+CH-CH_(3)`
