Question

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Experimental reaction of $\mathrm{CH_3Cl}$ with aniline and anhydrous $\mathrm{AlCl_3}$ does not give $o$ and $p$-methylaniline.
Reason (R) : The $-\mathrm{NH_2}$ group of aniline becomes deactivating because of salt formation with anhydrous $\mathrm{AlCl_3}$ and hence yields $m$-methyl aniline as the product.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
