In the SN2 mechanism, the reactivity of halides for the same alkyl group increases in the order. This happens because as the size increases, the halide ion becomes a better leaving group.
R−F << R−Cl < R−Br < R−I
Therefore, CH3I will react faster than CH3Br in SN2 reactions with OH.

riyatalukdar231100r: Yeah u r correct but both compounds contain cl

compound having 2 cl group attached will react faster because it's forming carbonation having aromaticity thus making it more stable.
