JEE Main 2022 — Haloalkanes and Haloarenes Question with Solution

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $\left(\mathrm{A}\right)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $\left(\mathrm{R}\right)$.

Assertion $\left(\mathrm{A}\right)$ : Experimental reaction of ${\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{Cl}$ with aniline and anhydrous ${\mathrm{AlCl}}_3$ does not give $\mathrm{o}$ and $\mathrm{p}$-methylaniline.

Reason $\left(\mathrm{R}\right)$ : The $-{\mathrm{NH}}_2$ group of aniline becomes deactivating because of salt formation with anhydrous ${\mathrm{AlCl}}_3$ and hence yields $\mathrm{m}$-methyl aniline as the product.

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