Q.

Given below are two statements:                                        [2026]

Statement I: The dipole moment of R–CN is greater than R–NC and R–NC can undergo hydrolysis under acidic medium to produce .

Statement II: R–CN hydrolyses under acidic medium to produce a compound which on treatment with SOCl2, followed by the addition of NH3 gives another compound (x). This compound (x) on treatment with NaOCl/NaOH gives a product, that on treatment with CHCl3/KOH/Δ produces R–NC.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1 Statement I is false but Statement II is true  
2 Statement I is true but Statement II is false  
3 Both Statement I and Statement II are true  
4 Both Statement I and Statement II are false
