Solution

Rules for Naming Hydrocarbons:-

Rule-I Selection of the longest carbon chain.

Rule-II Numbering the longest chain: Longest chain is numbered starting from a terminal carbon. Numbering is done is such a way that lowest possible number is given to the side chain or a functional group.

Rule-III Writing names of branched, saturated hydrocarbons, locants are written first in alphabetical order followed by name of parent chain.

Rule-IV Some common names are retained in $I U P A C$ system for unsubstituted hydrocarbon only.

As $- C l$ is attached to right side carbon; so it is given $1$ number.
As $- C H_{3}$ group is attached to $2 - C$ so, methyl substituent will be given in name.
So, $1 - c h l o r o - 2 - m e t h y l - p r o p a n e$
