CH3CH2Br  +  AgCN  ------>  CH3CH2NC  +   AgBr
 
CH3CH2NC   +   H+  ------>   CH3CH2NH2  +   HCOOH
 
this is a simple reaction......  whats the doubt in the answer
 
AgCN is covalent in nature so the lone pair in nitrogen atom attacks the carbon atom so that Br goes out....... thus we get alkyl isocyanide as product which on hydrolysis gives corresponding amine and HCOOH
 
the mechanism of hydrolysis of isocyanide is given in the following link
 
it a google book  ..... see page 457 .........
