3-methyl pent 2 ene reacts with HBr to form two products. Which of these products is the minor and major product and why?

3-bromo 3 methyl pentane will be the major product while 1 bromo 3 methyl pentane will be the minor. This is due to a more stable carbocation being formed. A secondary carbocation is more stable than a primary.
