Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): Experimental reaction of CH₃ Cl 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:

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

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

(B) Both A and R are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

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

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

\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{Cl}

with aniline and anhydrous

\mathrm{AlCl}_{3}

does not give

o

and

p

-methylaniline. Reason (R): The

-\mathrm{NH}_{2}

group of aniline becomes deactivating because of salt formation with anhydrous

\mathrm{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 :
