Here are the IUPAC names for the given organic compounds:

1.

Identify the longest continuous carbon chain.
The longest chain has 6 carbons, so the parent alkane is hexane.
Number the carbon chain to give substituents the lowest possible numbers.
Numbering from left to right gives substituents at positions 2 (bromo), 3 (methyl), and 4 (ethyl). The sum of locants is $2+3+4=9$ .
Numbering from right to left gives substituents at positions 3 (ethyl), 4 (methyl), and 5 (bromo). The sum of locants is $3+4+5=12$ .
Therefore, numbering from left to right is correct.
