a.Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1.
b.Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1.
c.Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false.
d.Statement 1 is false and statement 2 is false

Solution :Schiff's or Fehling's or Benedict's solutions are weak oxidising agents, hence they oxidise only aliphatic aldehydes, but BENZALDEHYDE `(PhCHO)` is AROMATIC ALDEHYDE. So, statement `1` is true but statement `2` is false.
