(a) If both the assertion and reason are true and reason is a true explanation of the assertion. (b) If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. (c) If the assertion is true but reason is false. (d) If assertion is false but reason is true. Q. Assertion: nitration of aniline can be conveniently done by protecting the amino group by acetylation. Reason. Acetylation increases the electron density in the benzene ring.

Statement 1: Nitration of aniline is generally performed by protecting amino group through acetylation and Statement 2: Acetylation decreases the electron density in aromatic ring.

Assertion(A): Acetanilide is less basic aniline. Reson(R ): Acetylation of aniline results in decrease of electron density on nitrogen.
