(b) Complete the following reactions by writing the structural formulae of 'A' and 'B' :
(i) $\text{CH}_3\text{CH} = \text{CH}_2 \xrightarrow[\text{Peroxide}]{\text{HBr}} \text{`A'} \xrightarrow{\text{aq. KOH}} \text{`B'}$
(ii) $\underset{|\\ \text{Cl}}{\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CHCH}_3} \xrightarrow[\Delta]{\text{alc. KOH}} \text{`A'} \xrightarrow{\text{HBr}} \text{`B'}$
(iii) $\text{`A'} \xrightarrow{\text{Mg}} \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{MgCl} \xrightarrow[\text{H}^+]{\text{H}_2\text{O}} \text{`B'}$ (Main product)
