Multiple choice

Directions: In the question given below, there are two statements labeled as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Mark your answer as per the codes provided below: Assertion: Chlorination of ethylbenzene with Cl2 in presence of heat and light mainly yields 1-chloro-2-phenylethane. Reason: The reaction occurs through intermediate formation of the radical, C6H5CH2C*H2.

  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.
