1.	Assertion. Alkylbenzene is not prepared by Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene. Reason. Alkyl halides are less reactive than acyl halides.
Answer» If both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the true explanation of the assertion. If both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the true explanation of the assertion.
