Question. The reaction of toluene with Cl2 in presence of FeCl3 gives ‘X’ while theof toluene with Cl2in presence of light gives ‘Y’. Thus ‘X’ and ‘Y’ are:
(a) X = benzyl chloride Y = o and p – chlorotoluene
(b) X = m – chlorotoluene Y = p – chlorotoluene
(c) X = o and p–chlorotoluene Y = trichloromethylbenzene
(d) X= benzyl chloride, Y = m-chlorotoluene

Answer: (c) X = o and p–chlorotoluene Y = trichloromethylbenzene
