Question

Given below are two statements : Statement I : The dipole moment of R-CN is greater than R-NC and R-NC can undergo hydrolysis under acidic medium to produce R–C–OH O . 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/ produces R-NC In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

(A) Both Statement I and Statement II are false
(B) Both Statement I and Statement II are true
(C) Statement I is true but Statement II is false
(D) Statement I is false but Statement II is true
