Assertion: Alkenes are easily attacked by electrophilic reagents. Reason: Alkenes are unstable molecules in comparison to alkenes.

Assertion: In strongly acidic solutions, aniline becomes more reactive towards electrophilic reagents. Reason: the amino group being completely protonate din strongly acidic solution, the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen is no longer available for resonance.
