1-bromopentane.because for sn2 the reactivity order is primary >secondary>teritiary
so 1-bromopentane more reactive than 2-bromopentane
so 1-bromopentane more reactive than 2-bromopentane

If it is Sn2 displacement, 1bromopentane will react faster than 2bromopentane due to more steric hinderence in 2bromopropane.
Therefore, Sn2 reactivity is inversly proportional to the steric hinderence
