(B) The reaction of alkyl halides with sodium in the presence of dry ether is known as the Wurtz reaction.When a mixture of two different alkyl halides ($R-X$ and $R'-X$) is used,it results in a mixture of three alkanes:$1$. $CH_3I + CH_3I + 2Na \xrightarrow{	ext{dry ether}} CH_3-CH_3 + 2NaI$ (Ethane)$2$. $C_2H_5I + C_2H_5I + 2Na \xrightarrow{	ext{dry ether}} C_2H_5-C_2H_5 + 2NaI$ (n-Butane)$3$. $CH_3I + C_2H_5I + 2Na \xrightarrow{	ext{dry ether}} CH_3-C_2H_5 + 2NaI$ (Propane)Thus,a total of $3$ different alkanes are formed as products.
