$STATEMENT-2$: The colour of the compound formed in the reaction of aniline with $\mathrm{NaNO}_2 / \mathrm{HCl}$ at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ followed by coupling with $\beta$-naphthol is due to the extended conjugation.


In the above reaction, the structural formula of $(A), "X"$ and $"Y"$ respectively are :
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.
