Q. Statement 1 : The addition of $B r_{2}$ to 1-butane gives two optical isomers
Statement 2 : The product contains one asymmetric carbon

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is correct explanation for Statement 1

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is not correct explanation for Statement 1

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is False

Statement 1 is False, Statement 2 is True

Number of optical isomers $= 2^{n} = 2^{1} = 2$
Hence, both statement (I) and statement (II) are correct and statement (II) is the correct explanation of statement(I)
