The correct answer is: $4 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~mol}^2 \mathrm{~L}^{-2}$
$\mathrm{CuBr} \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}^{+}+\mathrm{Br}^{-}$
Solubility of $\mathrm{CuBr}$ is $2 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~L}^{-1}$
Therefore, solubility of $\mathrm{Cu}^{+}=2 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~L}^{-1}$
$\Rightarrow$ Solubility product $=2 \times 10^{-4} \times 2 \times 10^{-4}$
$=4 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~mol}^2 \mathrm{~L}^{-2}$
