in the presence of sunlight 2 Methyl Butane reacts with bromine to give

Ans given is 2 Bromo2 Methyl Butane

How to find out which postion do bromine get added to? why cant it be 1 st position?

Based on the order of reactivity the substitution occur. Normally tertiary > secondary > primary. The second position H is more reactive than the CH​3 hydrogen. So 2-Methyl butane on reaction with bromine produce 2-Bromo -2-methyl butane.
