Assertion $(A)$ : Experimental reaction of $CH _{3} Cl$ with aniline and anhydrous $AlCl _{3}$ does not give $o$ and $p-methylaniline$.

Reason $(R)$ : The - $NH _{2}$ group of aniline becomes deactivating because of salt formation with anhydrous $AlCl _{3}$ and hence yields $m$-methyl aniline as the product.
