Assertion : Treatment of chloroethane w...

Assertion : Treatment of chloroethane with a saturated solution of AgCN gives ethyl isocyanide as the major product.
Reason : Cyanide`(CN^-)` is an ambident nucelophile

A

If both assertionn and reason are true, and reason is the true explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the true explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true, but reason is false.
