Dear Student,

The reaction scheme is shown below :

X reacts with alc
 KOH to give an alkene Y
Now, Y on reaction with water in presence of H2SO4 will give alcohol
 This follows Markovnikov addition i e
 OH will attach to more substituted carbon
 Z can also be obtained by reaction of X with aq
 KOH which means X is a secondary halide
  CH3CH(X)CH3  →alc
 KOH CH3CH=CH2  →H2O/H2SO4 CH3CH(OH)CH3            (X)                                       (Y)                                               (Z)CH3CH(X)CH3 →aq
 KOH CH3CH(OH)CH3          (X)                                           (Z)
