Reason : In the Wurtz reaction, alkyl halides react with sodium in dry ether to give hydrocarbons containing double the number of carbon atoms present in the halide.
(i) Assertion and reason both are correct and reason is correct explanation of assertion.
(ii) Assertion and reason both are wrong statements.
(iii) Assertion is correct but reason is wrong statement.
(iv) Assertion is wrong but reason is correct statement.
