Nitration would be governed through ortho position of benzene.
Since there is no H-bonding on nitartion and also no methyl group attached to benzene -NO2 would not attach at ortho position.
The electrophile in this case should attack at more meta psoiton because -NO2 is FROM highly ORDERED
-M group.
