(I) Benzene+AlBr3+Br2=Bromo Benzene Bromo Benzene+H2SO4+HNO3=p-nitrobromobenzene as halogens are Ortho para directing. (Ii)Benzene+H2SO4+HNO3=nitro Benzene Nitrobenzene+ AlBr3 +Br2=m-nitrobromobenzene as nitro group is meta directing.

Short trick :- any electron donating group give Ortho ,para directing product eg.bromo benzene or any halo benzene .aniline .toulene . Or Any electron withdrawing group meta directing product .eg cyno benzene ,nitro benzene any carbonyl group attached with benzene all give meta product with incoming electrophile. read less
