(N/A) $(i)$ Conversion of $3-$Methylaniline to $3-$nitrotoluene:
$1.$ $3-$Methylaniline reacts with $NaNO_2$ and $HCl$ at $273-278 \ K$ to form $3-$methylbenzenediazonium chloride.
$2.$ This diazonium salt reacts with $HBF_4$ to form $3-$methylbenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate.
$3.$ Finally,treatment with $NaNO_2$ in the presence of $Cu$ and heat (Schiemann-like reaction variant) yields $3-$nitrotoluene.
$(ii)$ Conversion of Aniline to $1,3,5-$tribromobenzene:
$1.$ Aniline reacts with $Br_2/H_2O$ to form $2,4,6-$tribromoaniline.
$2.$ $2,4,6-$tribromoaniline is treated with $NaNO_2/HCl$ to form $2,4,6-$tribromobenzenediazonium chloride.
$3.$ Reduction of this diazonium salt with $H_3PO_2$ and $H_2O$ removes the diazonium group,yielding $1,3,5-$tribromobenzene.

Given below are two statements:
Statement-$I$ : Oxidation of $p$-nitrotoluene with acidic $KMnO_4$ gives an acid that is stronger than benzoic acid.
Statement-$II$ : Reduction of $p$-nitrotoluene with $Sn/HCl$ followed by neutralization gives an amine that is more basic than aniline.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: The dipole moment of $R-CN$ is greater than $R-NC$ and $R-NC$ can undergo hydrolysis under acidic medium to produce $R-NH_2$ and $HCOOH$.
Statement $II$: $R-CN$ hydrolyses under acidic medium to produce a compound which on treatment with $SOCl_2$ followed by the addition of $NH_3$ gives another compound $(x)$. This compound $(x)$ on treatment with $NaOCl/NaOH$ gives a product, that on treatment with $CHCl_3/KOH/\Delta$ produces $R-NC$.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
