What is nitration?

Nitration is a process in which addition of nitro group (-NO₂) is taking place on the substrate molecule.

In the given question 1,3‑dimethylbenzene is the susbtarte in which nitration will be done in the presence of sulphuric acid (H₂SO₄) and nitric acid (HNO₃). Methyl groups which are present in the substrate molecule will behave as an ortho para directing groups as they are electron donating groups. So the major product obtained in the reaction is shown below in image.

Hence the structure of major nitration product is shown below in image.
