Question:medium

Observe the following reaction sequence and the statements given about the product \(Y\)

I. Reaction of \(Y\) with \(\mathrm{Br_2/UV}\) light forms aryl bromide.
II. Reaction of \(Y\) with \(\mathrm{CrO_3/(CH_3CO)_2O}\) followed by hydrolysis gives a compound which is acidic in nature.
The correct answer is

Show Hint

Remember: \[ \boxed{ \mathrm{Toluene} \xrightarrow[\mathrm{V_2O_5}]{\mathrm{O_2}} \mathrm{Benzoic\ acid} } \] Benzoic acid does not undergo side-chain bromination or Etard oxidation.
