The rate of hydrolysis of alkyl chloride improves because of better Nucleophilicity of I-

Q. Assertion A :Hydrolysis of an alkyl chloride is a slow reaction but in the presence of NaI, the rate of the hydrolysis increases.
Reason R : $I^{-}$ is a good nucleophile as well as a good leaving group.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

A is false but $R$ is tive

A is true but $R$ is false

Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is $NOT$ the correct explanation of $A$

Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$

The rate of hydrolysis of alkyl chloride improves because of better Nucleophilicity of $I^{-}$

Q. Assertion A :Hydrolysis of an alkyl chloride is a slow reaction but in the presence of NaI, the rate of the hydrolysis increases. Reason R : I−is a good nucleophile as well as a good leaving group. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

A is false but R is tive

A is true but R is false

Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
