Statement 1: Ph N⊕2Br⊕ is more acidic than NH4Br Statement 2: Ph N H⊕3 (anilinium ion) is resonance stabilised

Question

Statement 1: Ph N⊕2Br⊕ is more acidic than NH4Br Statement 2: Ph N H⊕3 (anilinium ion) is resonance stabilised (A) If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and the statement 2 is the correct explanation of the statement 1. (B) If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of the statement 1. (C) If Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false. (D) If Statement 1 is false but Statement 2 is true.

NH3 is a stronger base than aniline, therefore, the conjugate acid of aniline (i.e., PhN H⊕2) is more acidic than the conjugate acid of NH3(i.e., N H⊕3ion)

Q. Statement 1: $P h N_{2}^{\oplus} B r^{\oplus}$ is more acidic than $N H_{4} B r$
Statement 2: $P h N H_{3}^{\oplus}$ (anilinium ion) is resonance stabilised

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.

$N H_{3}$ is a stronger base than aniline, therefore, the conjugate acid of aniline $(i . e ., P h N H_{2}^{\oplus})$ is more acidic than the
conjugate acid of $N H_{3} (i . e ., N H_{3}^{\oplus} i o n)$
