Explain why chlorination of n-butane in presence of light at 298 K gives a mixture of 72 % 2-chlorobutane and 28 % of 1- chlorobutane.

If relative rates of substitution of 1^(@) and 2^(@) H are in the ratio 1 : 3.8, show that in the presence of light at 298 K, the chlorination of n-butane gives a mixture of 72% 2-chlorobutane and 28% 1-chlorobutane.

Statement-I: Free radical chlorination of n-butane gives 72% of 2-chlorobutane and 28% of 1-chlorobutane though it has six primary and four secondary hydrogens. Because Statement-II: A secondary hydrogen is abstracted more easily than the primary hydrogen.
