Figure 3

In the above reaction, the starting material is tertiary alkyl halide. In the first step, CI bond is broken. It leads to the formation of more stable carbocation. In the second step, hydroxide ion abstracts hydrogen and new double bond between two carbon atoms is generated. Hence, the first step is rate-determining step.

Therefore, the equation [2] is the right one for the given mechanism.
