Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R Assertion A: Benzene is more stable than hypothetical cyclohexatriene Reason R: The delocalized π electron cloud is attracted more strongly by nuclei of carbon atoms. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R Assertion A: Benzene is more stable than hypothetical cyclohexatriene Reason R: The delocalized π electron cloud is attracted more strongly by nuclei of carbon atoms. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below: (A) A is false but R is true (B) Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A (C) A is true but R is false (D) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A

Assertion - A: Benzene is more stable than cyclohexatriene (True) Reason - R: Delocalised π- e cloud lies B.M.O so more attracted by nuclei of carbon atom. (True Correct Explanation)

A is false but $R$ is true

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

$A$ is true but $R$ is false

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

Assertion - A : Benzene is more stable than cyclohexatriene (True)
Reason - R : Delocalised $π -$ e cloud lies B.M.O so more attracted by nuclei of carbon atom.
(True & Correct Explanation)

A is false but R is true

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

A is true but R is false

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

Assertion - A : Benzene is more stable than cyclohexatriene (True) Reason - R : Delocalised π− e cloud lies B.M.O so more attracted by nuclei of carbon atom. (True & Correct Explanation)

A is false but $R$ is true

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

$A$ is true but $R$ is false

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

Assertion - A : Benzene is more stable than cyclohexatriene (True)
Reason - R : Delocalised $π -$ e cloud lies B.M.O so more attracted by nuclei of carbon atom.
