The reaction of toulene with \(\text{Cl}_2\) in the presence of \(\text{FeCl}_3\) gives X and reaction in presence of light gives Y. Thus, X and Y are:

  1. A \(\text{X = Benzyl chloride, Y = m Chlorotoulene}\)
  2. B \(\text{X = Benzal chloride, Y = o - Chlorotoulene}\)
  3. C \(\text{X = m - chloroloulene, Y = p - Chlorotoulene}\)
  4. D \(\text{X = o and p - chlorotoulene, Y = trichloromethylbenzene}\)
