Carbocation obtained from C6H5CH(C6H5)Br is more stable than C6H5CH(CH3)Br as C6H5CH(C6H5) is stabilised by two phenyl groups and hence it is more reactive in SN1 reaction.

Q. Assertion : $S_{N} 1$ reactions are generally carried out in polar protic solvents (like water, alcohol, acetic acid, etc.)
Reason: $C_{6} H_{5} C H (C_{6} H_{5}) B r$ is less reactive than $C_{6} H_{5} C H (C H_{3}) B r$ in $S_{N}^{1}$ reactions.

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

If assertion is true but reason is false.

If both assertion and reason are false.
