The relative reactivity of alkyl halide towards SN N reactions is as follows;
Primary > secondary > Tertiary
However, if the primary alkyl halide or the nucleophile/base is sterically hindered the nucleophile will have difficulty to getting the back side of the alpha carbon as a result of this elimination product will be predominant. Here CH3CH2Br is the least hindered, hence it has the highest relative rate towards SN2 reaction.
