Here the base is strong therefore strong base favours SN2 reaction provided it is attacking the primary or secondary carbon atom.
(1)for the first case the fater will be with respect to CH3I because the I- is easily removed
(2)CH3Cl is a primary substrate therefore it will react faster with respect to (CH3)3CCl where elimination will occur
