The reaction of toluene with Cl2 in presence of FeCl3 gives ‘X' and the reaction in presence of light gives 'Y'. 'X' and 'Y' are respectively:

1. X= Benzal chloride, Y= o-chlorotoluene
2. X= m-chlorotoluene, Y= p-chlorotoluene
3. X= o and p-chlorotoluene, Y= trichloromethyl
benzene
4. X= Benzyl chloride, Y= m-chlorotoluene
