answer A)
In the above product the plane is drawn or which is pass through C-C and oxygen atom O and Methly wedge and and also N3- so that it cutting equal half towards us and half away from us
Note: N3 - is linear structure so equal cutting in between
Hence plane of symmetry present in the compound so it is not chiral.
b)Three features of reaction that favour SN2 that are

Molecule A (1,4,7-trimethyloxatriquinane) is a three-fold, tertiary alkyl oxonium salt. The compound is inert to solvolysis with alcohols, even at elevated temperatures, but it readily undergoes substitution with the strongly nucleophilic azide anion (N3) in chloroform (CHCl3, polar aprotic solvent). An S 2 pathway is the only reasonable mechanistic interpretation for this reaction, despite the fact that substitution is occurring at a tertiary carbon center. (a) is the product chiral?
