Yes, it should be ''2-Bromo-1,1-dichloro cyclohexane'' according to alphabetical order of remaining functional groups.

Sir alphabetical order ke hisab se to bromine ko lowest possible number milna chahiye na

i.e, 1-bromo-2,2-dichlorocyclohexane

Ye locant rule kab lagana hai ye pata kaise chalega

Sorry sir ye answer nahi hai...Doubt puch rahe hain
