(a)
Interpretation:
The common name for the given compound is to be written.
Concept introduction:
Ethers have an oxygen atom attached to two alkyl groups on either side. These alkyl groups may be same or different. In case of ethers having two different alkyl groups, the larger alkyl group is considered as the root. The other alkyl group with the oxygen atom is considered as the alkoxy group. When writing the common name, the two alkyl groups are written in alphabetical order follower by the word ether.
(b)
