ya got it now...........wurtz reaction does not take palce here..becoz its tertiary halide............and tertairy halides dont participate in wutrz reaction due to least stable carbanion..............i dont know why i didnt get that before......[2]

OH yah,
and @mathematician
I had read the questn as red P, I2 which results in Hell Volhard Zelhinski reactn..... otherwise it was obvious ethane!!!!

so now i think third one also becomes obvious.

tapanmast i say u better have a gud look at organic once again yaar, u r having many conceptual flaws.
by the way the first one is obviousle ethane. red P + HI is a famous reducing agent. not only carboxylic acids but it also reduces aldehydes and ketones into coresponding alkanes.

formed becoz a free radical accepts elcetron

does carbanion is the intermediate in wurtz reaction.
wont the free radical will be the intermediate

2reasons :
1) No other produvt seems likely ([3])
2 moles of tert butyl alc. + 2 Na ---> product + 2NaCl.....
Sankara can u confirm if my ans's rite or not???
