identify A in the following reaction A+2Na - dry ether - 2,2,5,5 - Tetramethylhexane + 2NaBr (a)2-Bromo-2-methylbutane (b)1-Bromo-2,2-dimethylpropane (c)1-Bromo-3-methylbutane (d)1-Bromo-2-methylpropane

The correct answer may be the option b - 1 -Bromo-2,2-dimethylpropane.
According to the given reaction, there are two sodium atoms that have been used as reactants and they combine with the Bromine atoms of A to form the product which is 2 moles of NaBr. That means 2 moles of the reactant A has been used for 2 Br atoms to be present.
The product says it is a 'tetramethyl'. Since already 2 moles of the compound has been shown to be present, the compound A must be a 'dimethyl' compound.
