(iii)     

                                         

 In this compound we have two type of \beta - hydrogen thus dehalogenation we get two types of products namely 3, 4, 4-Trimethylpent-2-ene and 2-Ethyl-3,3-dimethylbut-2-ene.

                    and               

Here 3, 4, 4-Trimethylpent-2-ene will be major product, since the \alpha - hydrogen attached to the double bond are greater.
