JEE Main 5 April 2026, Shift 2, Chemistry Q67

Question 67 of 75 in this shift, Chemistry question 17 of 25, Section A.

Given below are two statements : Statement I : Heating benzamide with bromine in an ethanolic solution of sodium hydroxide will give benzylamine. Statement II : Nitration of aniline with HNO3/H2SO4\mathrm{HNO_3/H_2SO_4} at 288 K produces mm-nitroaniline in higher amount than oo-nitroaniline (pH adjusted). In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
  1. (1)Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  2. (2)Both Statement I and Statement II are false
  3. (3)Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  4. (4)Statement I is false but Statement II is trueOfficial answer
