Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A : A solution of the product obtained by heating a mole of glycine with a mole of chlorine in presence of red phosphorous generates chiral carbon atom. Reason R : A molecule with 2 chiral carbons is always optically active. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Assertion A : A solution of the product obtained by heating a mole of glycine with a mole of chlorine in presence of red phosphorous generates chiral carbon atom.

Reason R : A molecule with 2 chiral carbons is always optically active.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

A is true but R is false

A is false but R is true
