Question

Provide the Major product for the following reactions

The image shows two chemical reactions with their respective reagents and conditions:

1. **First Reaction:**
   - **Reactant:** A six-membered cyclic structure (cyclohexane) with a bromine (Br) and a methyl (CH₃) group attached. The bromine is on the top carbon, and the methyl group is on the adjacent carbon.
   - **Reagent and Conditions:** Methanol (MeOH) and heat, indicated by an arrow pointing right.

2. **Second Reaction:**
   - **Reactant:** A five-membered cyclic structure (cyclopentane) with a bromine (Br) and a methyl (CH₃) group attached. The bromine is on one carbon, and the methyl group is on the adjacent carbon.
   - **Reagent:** Sodium ethoxide (EtONa), indicated by an arrow pointing right. 

The image provides a visual representation of organic reactions, indicating the use of methanol with heat and sodium ethoxide as reagents for potential substitution or elimination processes.
