Assertion (A) : tert-butyl bromide under...

Assertion (A) : tert-butyl bromide undergoes Wurtz reaction to give 2,2,3,3-tertramethylbutane.
Reason (R) : In Wurtz reaction, alkyl halides reacts with sodium in dry ether to give hydrocarbon containing double the number of carbon atoms present in the halides.

A

(A) and (R) both are correct statement and (R) is correct explanation for (A)

B

(A) and (R) both are correct statement but (R) is not correct explanation for (A)
