Solution:

Nitro group is a deactivating and m-directing group hence it direct the incoming $ B{{r}^{-}} $ ion to the $ m- $ position, thus leading to the formation of $ m- $ bromonitrobenzene. By reduction with $ Sn/HCl, $ the nitro group reduces to $ -N{{H}_{2}} $ i.e. the final product is m-bromoaniline.
