Solution

The correct option is B Statement I is true but statement II is false
Answer: (b)

$C_{2} H_{5} O H and A g C N$ can generate nucleophiles $C_{2} H_{5} O^{-}$ and $C N^{-}$ respectively.

$A g C N & K C N$ both do not generate nitrite nucleophiles in all reaction conditions because cyanide is an ambidentate nucleophile.

In $A g C N$ , the bond between Ag and C is predominantly covalent in nature, thus, C site is not available in case of AgCN. Hence, the lone pair of N acts as nucleophile site.

In $N a C N$ , the bond between $N a$ and $C$ is ionic so negative charge on carbon acts as nucleophile site.
