In the given reaction two products are expected.
The product (B) is formed as a major product because
  1. the carbocation CH3 – C+ H – CH3 is formed which is more stable
  2. the carbocation CH3 – CH2 – C+ H2 is formed which is more stable
  3. both carbocations are equally stable but the nucleophile attacks on central C atom
  4. CH3 – C+ H – CH3 can easily give a proton to attach Br+.

Answer

(A) the carbocation CH 3 – C + H – CH 3 is formed which is more stable
