What is the sequence of reactions to synthesis isopropylcyclohexane from cis-4-Bromoisopropylcyclohexane?

Is it:
con.H2SO4 / heat; H2 / Pt
(or)
KOEt/EtOH/heat; H2/Pt

It is KOEt / EtOH / heat followed by H2 / Pt
The first step (KOEt/EtOH/heat) eliminates the Br to form the double bond to give isopropylcyclohexene. The second step (H2/Pt) reduces the double bond to give your final produce. Hope this helps.
