A. The major product will be chiral carbon atom having optically inactive compound
B. The intermediate free radical of the major product is resonance stabilised
C. The intermediate free radical is tertiary
D. The intermediate free radical is planar , and stabilised by only hyperconjugation

Answer 1

Correct Answer - A,B
Free radical mechanism `Ph-CH_2-undersetunderset(CH_3)(|)CH-CH_3` give three type of alkyl radicals
