In these kinds of cases, we see where is the substituent is attached i.e., how far from the halide group. It can be clearly seen that the methyl group attached in 1-bromo-2-methylbutane is near than that attached in 1-bromo-3-methyl butane.

Hence the rate of S_{N}2 reaction will be faster in case of 1-bromo-3-methylbutane.
