Given below are two statement:
I: In an organic compound, when inductive and electromeric effects operate in opposite directions, the inductive effect predominates.
II: Hyperconjugation is observed in o-xylene.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
2. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are true.

Select the correct option based on the statements below:
Assertion (A): Chlorine is an electron-withdrawing group, yet it exhibits ortho- and para-directing behavior in electrophilic aromatic substitution.
Reason (R): Inductive effect of chlorine destabilises the intermediate carbocation formed during the electrophilic substitution, however due to the more pronounced resonance effect, the halogen stabilises the carbocation at ortho and para positions.
  
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. (A) is False but (R) is True.

A tertiary butyl carbocation is more stable than a secondary butyl carbocation because-

1. + R effect of CH3 groups 

2. -R effect of - CH3  groups 

3. Hyperconjugation 

4. -l effect of -CH3 groups
