Assertion : $\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3 \mathrm{CCOC}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3$ and acetone can be distinguished by the reaction with $\mathrm{NaHSO}_3$. Reason : $\mathrm{HSO}_3^{-}$is the nucleophile in bisulphite addition.

Question

Assertion : $\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3 \mathrm{CCOC}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3$ and acetone can be distinguished by the reaction with $\mathrm{NaHSO}_3$. Reason : $\mathrm{HSO}_3^{-}$is the nucleophile in bisulphite addition., If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion., If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion., If assertion is true but reason is false., If both assertion and reason are false.
