You didn't specify the chain length of the alkane, and of course this is the most important criterion.
Explanation:
From methane and ethane you can get the 1 alkyl halide. From propane, 2; from n-butane, 2; from n-pentane, 3; from n-hexane, 3.
You should go over the possible products to see that I have not made a mistake.
