Statement 1 Bromobenzene, upon reaction with \(\mathrm{Br}_2 / \mathrm{Fe}\) gives 1, 4-dibromobenzene as the major product.
Statement 2 In bromobenzene, the inductive effect of the bromo group is more dominant than the mesomeric effect in directing the incoming electrophile.

  1. A Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
  2. B Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
