Solution
It is a nucleophilic substitution reaction. The nucleophile CN− substitutes Br−.
The reaction is as follows:
\[\ce{CH3BrKCN -> CH3CN + K Br}\]

Out of (CH3)3 C-Br and (CH3)3 C-I, which one is more reactive towards SN1 and why?
Assertion: Presence of a nitro group at ortho or para position increases the reactivity of haloarenes towards nucleophilic substitution.
Reason: Nitro group, being an electron-withdrawing group decreases the electron density over the benzene ring.
