The correct answer is:
If both assertion and reason are false.
2-bromobutane on reaction with sodium ethoxide in ethanol gives 2-butene as a major product.
This is according to Saytzeff's rule i.e. the predominant product is the most substituted alkene.
2-butene is more stable than 1-butene due to presence of large number of hyperconjugating structures in 2-butene.
