A complex of the type [M(A A)_2X_2]^(n+) is known to be optically active. What does this indicate about the structure of the complex? Give an example of such complex.

Compound ‘A’ with molecular formula C_4H_9Br is treated with aq. KOH solution. The rate of this reaction depends upon the concentration of the compound ‘A’ only. When another optically active isomer ‘B' of this compound was treated with aq. KOH solution, the rate of reaction was found to be dependent on concentration of compound and KOH both. Write down the structural formula of both compounds ‘A’ and 'B’.
