Dear student
Please find the solution to the asked query:

The question is not clear

Locants or location numbers are numbers assigned to the attached
substituents in the ring or chain compound
Each and every substituent is given a number, based on where it is
attached to the parent These numbers should appear in the name
While assembling the name, the high priority functional group is
written at the first followed by the low priority functional
group
