Statement I  Grignard reagent (R–MgX) reacts with CO₂ followed by acidification to form a carboxylic acid (R–COOH). This on heating with NH₃ forms an amide (R–CONH₂), which on treatment with NaOCl gives a primary amine (R–NH₂). The amine on reaction with CHCl₃/NaOH forms an isocyanide (R-NC).
Statement II Isocyanide (R-NC) on hydrolysis gives Carboxylic acid (RCOOH).

Choose the correct option:
1. Statement-I and Statement-II both are correct
2. Statement-I is incorrect Statement-II is correct
3. Statement-I is correct Statement-II is incorrect
4. Statement-I and Statement-II both incorrect
