Question

Bromination of an alkane as compared to chlorination proceeds (1)
at a slower rate (2) at a faster rate (3) with equal rate (4) with
equal or different rate depending upon temperature

Dear Student,

Halogenation reaction of alkane occur with halogens like chlorine,
fluorine, bromine etc Usually, chlorine is more reactive towards
the alkane than bromine , hence chlorine react faster than bromine
So bromination proceeds with much slower rate as compared to
chlorination
Hence, option 1 is correct
