Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
 Assertion (A): Experimental reaction of CH3Cl with aniline and anhydrous AlCl3 does not give o and p-methylaniline.
 Reason (R): The –NH2 group of aniline becomes deactivating because of salt formation with anhydrous AlCl3 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 :
  (JEE Main 2022)
  1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
  2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
  3. (A) is true, but (R) is false.
  4. (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Answer

(C) (A) is true, but (R) is false.
