    2-methyl propane

    Explanation:

    Substitution of alkanes proceed by free radical mechanism. The tertiary radical is more stable and is most likely yo form hence the reaction that involves this radical will proceed faster. This will lead to faster depletion of the 2-methyl propane compared to the other alkanes present.
