The major product formed in dehydrohalogenation reaction of 2-bromopentane is pent-2-ene. This product formation is based on         [2021]

1 Huckel’s Rule  
2 Saytzeff’s Rule  
3 Hund’s Rule  
4 Hofmann Rule

It is an example of β-elimination, as the major product is 2-pentene (more substituted) not 1-pentene, hence it follows Saytzeff’s rule.
