This is an example of cross Wurtz reaction. The reaction involves the free radicals \mathrm{\overset{\bullet}{CH_3}} and \mathrm{CH_3\overset{\bullet}{CH_2}}  produces Ethane and Butane as self reaction products while Propane is formed as a cross product 

\mathrm{\overset{\bullet}{CH_3}} + \mathrm{\overset{\bullet}{CH_3}} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH_3CH_3}

\mathrm{CH_3\overset{\bullet}{CH_2}} + \mathrm{CH_3\overset{\bullet}{CH_2}} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_3}

\mathrm{\overset{\bullet}{CH_3}} + \mathrm{CH_3\overset{\bullet}{CH_2}} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH_3CH_2CH_3}

Hence, we can see that 2-Methylpropane will not be obtained in the given reaction

Hence, the correct answer is Option (4)
