Given below are two statements: **Statement-I :** Oxidation of p-nitrotoluene with acidic KMnO₄ gives an acid that is stronger than benzoic acid. **Statement-II :** Reduction of p-nitrotoluene with Sn/HCl followed by neutralization gives an amine that is more basic than aniline. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
A
Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct.
B
Both Statement-I and Statement-II are incorrect.
C
Statement-I is correct but Statement-II is incorrect.
D
Statement-I is incorrect but Statement-II is correct.
Explanation
Oxidation of p-nitrotoluene with acidic KMnO₄ gives p-nitrobenzoic acid. Acidic strength: p-Nitrobenzoic acid > Benzoic acid Reduction of p-nitrotoluene with Sn/HCl followed by neutralization gives p-toluidine. Basic strength: p-Toluidine > Aniline ∴ Both statement I and II are correct.
