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 $m-$methylaniline as the product.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

  • A
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$.
  • B
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true but $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of $(A)$.
  • C
    $(A)$ is true,but $(R)$ is false.
  • D
    $(A)$ is false,but $(R)$ is true.
