JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 8.4. Organic chemistry reaction mechanism
Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion \(A\) and the other is labelled as Reason \(R\). Assertion \(A\) : Order of acidic nature of the following compounds is \(A > B > C\). \(image\) Reason \(R\) : Fluoro is a stronger electron withdrawing group than Chloro group. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

- A \(A\) is false but \(R\) is true
- B Both \(A\) and \(R\) are correct and \(R\) is the correct explanation of \(A\)
- C Both \(A\) and \(R\) are correct but \(R\) is NOT the correct explanation of \(A\)
- D \(A\) is true but \(R\) is false
