This question has Statement I and Statement II. Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements. Statement - I : Nitration of chlorobenzene leads to the formation of ortho and para nitrochlorobenzene. Statement - II : NO_2 group is a o,p-directing group.

Assertion (A) : It is difficult to replace chlorine by -OH in chlorobenzene in comparison to that in chlorobenzene in comaparision to that in chloroethane. Reason (R) : Chlorine-carbon (C-Cl) bond in chlorobenzene has partial double bond character due to resonance.

Assertion (A) : Replication and transcription occur in the nucleus but translation occurs in the cytoplasm. Reason (R ) : m-RNA is transferred from the nucleus into the cytoplasm where ribosomes and amino acids are available for protein synthesis.

Assertion (A) : Presence of a nitro group at ortho-or para- position increases reactivity of haloarenes towards nucleophilic substitution. Reason (R) : Nitro group, being an electron withdrawing group decreases the electron density over the bvenzene ring.

Assertion (A) : All collisions between the reactant molecules result in product formation . Reason (R) : The collision between molecules having sufficient amount of energy and proper orientations, results in the formation of compounds.
