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

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
- Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
- Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
- (A) is true, but (R) is false.
- (A) is false, but (R) is true.
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The correct option is (C): (A) is true, but (R) is false.

Concepts Used:
Aromatic hydrocarbon
Aromatic hydrocarbons, sometimes known as arenes, are aromatic organic molecules made up entirely of carbon and hydrogen. In aromatic compounds a benzene ring which is named after the simple aromatic chemical benzene, or a phenyl group when part of a larger structure, is the configuration of six carbon atoms.

Reactions of Aromatic Hydrocarbons:
1. Aromatic Substitution Reactions
This reaction involves the replacement of one substituent on the ring of an aromatic hydrocarbon, commonly a hydrogen atom, by a different substituent group.
The common types of aromatic substitution reactions are:
- Nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions
- Electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions
- Radical nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions
2. Coupling Reactions
In these types of reactions, the coupling of two fragments that have a radical nature is achieved with the help of a metal catalyst
