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{\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{Cl}} with aniline and anhydrous \mathrm{\mathrm{AlCl}_{3}} does not give \mathrm{o} and p-methylaniline.

Reason (R):  The \mathrm{ -\mathrm{NH}_{2}} group of aniline becomes deactivating because of salt formation with anhydrous \mathrm{ \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 :

Option: 1

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


Option: 2

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


Option: 3

(A) is true, but (R) is false.
 


Option: 4

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

on Reaction of Amleine with \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{Cl} in presence of \mathrm{AlCl}_3, insted of friedel Craft reaction it forms Salt and does not forms \mathrm{-O} or \mathrm{-P} or \mathrm{-m} product.

Hence Assertion is correct but not reason.

Hence, Option (3) is correct.
