Bicyclohexane was found to undergo two parallel first order rearrangements. At `730` K, the first order rate constant for the formation of cyclohexene was measured as `1.26xx10^(-4)s^(-1)` and for the formation of methyl cyclopentene the rate constant was `3.8 xx 10^(-5) s^(-1)`. What is the percentage distribution of the rearrangement products ?

Explanation

To solve the problem of determining the percentage distribution of the rearrangement products of bicyclohexane, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Identify the Rate Constants
We have two parallel first-order reactions with the following rate constants:
- For cyclohexene formation (k1): \(1.26 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{s}^{-1}\)
- For methyl cyclopentene formation (k2): \(3.8 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{s}^{-1}\)

### Step 2: Use the Formula for Percentage Distribution
