Explanation
Methoxy group is o-, p-directing. Nitration of methoxy benzene will produce p-isomer as the major product due to steric crowding in o-isomers. Bromination of p-nitroanisole (A) with excess of $$\mathrm{Br}_2$$ will result in disubstitution to give 2, 5-dibromo-4-nitroanisole. (B) as the major product.
