3 hydroxypentan2one will be more reactive towards dehydration because the product form will we have 3 Alpha hydrogen along with conjugation violin 2 hydroxy cyclopentanone conjugation is present along with 2 Alpha hydrogen so more the stability of the product more will be the reactivity of the reactant.
