MCQ
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.

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.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

  • A
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$.
