Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

RX + AgNO₃ = R⁺ ( carbocation ) + AgX + NO₃⁻

C₂H₅OH ( a nucleophile ) + R⁺ = ROC₂H₅

C₅H₁₁X + AgNO₃ = C₅H₁₁⁺ + AgX + NO₃⁻

In the first case carbocation produced is CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂⁺

CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂⁺ ⇒ CH₃CH₂CH₂C⁺HCH₃ ( secondary carbocation more stable )

CH₃CH₂CH₂C⁺HCH₃ + C₂H₅OH ⇒ CH₃CH₂CH₂CH(OC₂H₅)CH₃

Hence option D is correct .

b )

In the second case carbocation produced is

CH₃CH₂CH₂CH⁺CH₃

CH₃CH₂CH₂C⁺HCH₃ + C₂H₅OH ⇒ CH₃CH₂CH₂CH(OC₂H₅)CH₃

The product formed is same as in case of first

Option B is correct
