The correct answer is:
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CONH}_2+\mathrm{Br}_2+4 \mathrm{NaOH} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{NH}_2$
$+\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{CO}_3+2 \mathrm{NaBr}+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$
The reaction occurs through intermediate formation of alkyl isocyanate which on hydrolysis gives methylamine and sodium carbonate.
$+\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{CO}_3+2 \mathrm{NaBr}+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$
The reaction occurs through intermediate formation of alkyl isocyanate which on hydrolysis gives methylamine and sodium carbonate.
