(A)Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
(B)Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct✓ Correct
(C)Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
(D)Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
Answer: (B)
Solution
Statement I: numbering for lowest locants makes Compound A 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, not "4-chloro-1,3-dinitrobenzene" — so Statement I is incorrect. Statement II: the amine is correctly named 4-ethyl-2-methylaniline — correct. Hence I incorrect, II correct. Option (2).
