(a)
Interpretation:
The major product of the given reaction should be drawn.
Concept introduction:
In the presence of acid catalyst, this reaction takes place through partial SN1 and partial SN2 pathway.
Epoxides are reactive, methoxide ion attacks the Epoxides in a less sterically hindered position which forms the alkoxide ion, and then it gets proton from alcohol which form the product.
(b)
Interpretation:
The major product of the given reaction should be drawn.

Epoxides are reactive, methoxide ion attacks the Epoxides in a less sterically hindered position which forms the alkoxide ion, and then it gets proton from alcohol which form the product.
(c)
Interpretation:
The major product of the given reaction should be drawn.
Concept introduction:
In the presence of acid catalyst, this reaction takes place through partial SN1 and partial SN2 pathway. Epoxides are reactive, Epoxides get protonated followed by alcohol attacks to the stable carbocation and form the product.
