Neopentane (C5H12, also called 2,2-dimethyl propane) is symmetrical. It has a central carbon atom attached to 4 identical methyl groups.
The monochloro neopentane would be formed by removing one of the hydrogen atoms and replacing it with a chlorine atom. Since all 12 hydrogens are identical, the resulting monochloro product would also be the same.
