The products (A), (B), and (c ) are:
A. a.`2CH_(3)CH_(2)OH`, `2CH_(3)CH_(2)OH`,` 2CH_(3)CH_(2)OH`
B. b.`2CH_(3)CH_(2)OH,` No reaction, `2CH_(3)CH_(2)OH`,
C. c.`2CH_(3)CH_(2)OH`, No reaction, No reaction
D. d.No reaction, No reaction, `2CH_(3)CH_(2)H`,

Answer 1

Correct Answer - B
Both `LAH` and `(H_(2)+Pt)` reduce anhydride to alcohols, but `NaBH_(4)` does not reduce anhdyride. So the answer is `(b)`.
