How to get the answer?
Dear Student
Migratory preference of H is greater than methyl group.
Also migration at position 2 results in formation of more stabilised carbocation due to resonance .
If migration of hydrogen at position 4 takes place then resonance wont occur.
hence it will be less stable.
