Compound $(A)$ is formed by the reaction of cyclooctatetraene with $(3 \text{ mole})$ of $CH_2I_2$ in the presence of $Zn/Cu$. Identify compound $(A)$.

The reaction of propene with $HOCl$ $(Cl_2 + H_2O)$ proceeds through the intermediate $:$

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R.$
Assertion $A :$ Treatment of bromine water with propene yields $1-$bromopropan$-2-$ol.
Reason $R:$ Attack of water on bromonium ion follows Markovnikov rule and results in $1-$bromopropan$-2-$ol.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Addition of $HBr$ to propene yields $2-$bromopropane,while in the presence of benzoyl peroxide,the same reaction yields $1-$bromopropane. Explain and give the mechanism.

Which of the following compounds is obtained when cyclohexene is oxidized using $KMnO_4$ in dilute $H_2SO_4$?

The product $(C)$ is:
