Statement 1: Aniline on reaction with NaNO2/HCl at 0°C followed by coupling with β-naphthol gives a dark blue coloured precipitate Statement 2: The colour of the compound formed in the reaction of aniline with NaNO2/HCl at 0°C followed by coupling with β-naphthol is due to the extended conjugation.

Correct statement 1: Aniline reacts with NaNO2/HCl at 0°C followed by coupling with β-naphthol gives an orange red coloured precipitate.

If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and the statement 2 is the correct explanation of the statement 1.

If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of the statement 1.

If Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false.

If Statement 1 is false but Statement 2 is true.

Correct statement 1: Aniline reacts with NaNO2​/HCl at 0∘C followed by coupling with β-naphthol gives an orange red coloured precipitate.

Correct statement 1: Aniline reacts with $N a N O_{2} / H Cl$ at $0^{\circ} C$ followed by coupling with $β$ -naphthol gives an orange red coloured precipitate.
