Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

In the following reaction C6H5CH2Br [2. H3O+]1. Mg, ether X, the product 'X' is

1. C6H5CH2OCH2C6H5
2. C6H5CH2OH
3. C6H5CH3
4. C6H5CH2CH2C6H5

The reaction of toluene with Cl2 in presence of FeCl3 gives X and reaction in presence of light gives Y. Thus, X and Y are

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

Which one is most reactive towards SN1 reaction?

3. C6H5C(CH3)(C6H5)Br
4. C6H5CH2Br
