Assertion: p-Toluidine is a stronger base than m-toluidine. Reason: Methyl group from m-position exerts smaller electron-donating inductive (+I)-effect than from p-position.

Answer»

If both assertion and reason are TRUE, and reason is the true explanation of the assertion.
If both assertion and reason are TURE, but reason is not the true explanation of the assertion.
If assertion is true, but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.

Solution :Correct explanation: `CH_(3)` group exerts greater +I-effect from m-position than p-position. However, it is the stronger hyperconjugation effect of the `CH_(3)` group from p-position which increases the BASIC strength of p-toluidine w.r.t. m-toluidne.
