Assertion : p-nitroaniline is stronger base than p-toluidine .
Reason: The electron withdrawing `NO_(2)` group in the p-nitroaniline makes it a stronger base .

Options

A. If both the assertion and reason are true statement and reason is correct explanation of the assertion .
B. If both the assertion and reason are true statement but reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion .
C. If the assertion is true but the reason is a false statement.
D. If both assertion and reason are false statements.

Answer

D

Explanation

The presence of electron releasing group like `-CH_(3)` at para position increases the basic strength . On the other hand the electron withdrawing `-NO_(2)` group decreases the basic strength . Hence p-nitroaniline is weaker base than p-toluidine .
