Because in usymetric alkanes it foems large no. of compounds which are having low boiling pt. and cannot be seperated

 Wurtz reaction with mixed alkyl halides(two different alkyl halides) will lead to all the possible products, for ex. reaction between CH3Br & C2H5Br with sodium metal will give CH3-CH3, C2H5-C2H5, & CH3-C2H5; hence the reaction is not suitable for preparing alkanes with odd no. of carbon atoms.
