Solution:

Total number of monohalogenated products of $2,4,4$ -trimethylhexane are six.

(i) 2 monohalogenated products by replacing two $- CH _{3}$ groups at $C _{2}$ and $C _{4}$ position.

(ii) 4 monohalogenated products by replacing $H$ by $Cl$ at $C _{2}, C _{3}, C _{5}, C _{6}$ positions. Thus, total 6 isomers are possible.
