$\mathrm{Directions} :$ Each of these questions contains an Assertion followed by reason. Read them carefully and answer the question on the basis of following options. You have to select the one that best describes the two statements.
$\mathrm{Assertion}:$The order of base catalysed hydrolysis of ester is

(1) ${\mathrm{CH}}_3-{\mathrm{COOCH}}_3>{\mathrm{CH}}_3-{\mathrm{COOC}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_5>{\mathrm{CH}}_3-\mathrm{COOCH}{\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\right)}_2$

(2) 

$\mathrm{Reason}:$ ${\mathrm{S}}_{\mathrm{N}}2$ The reaction is sterically as well as electronically controlled reaction.

$\mathrm{Assertion}:$ Acid catalysed hydrolysis of ester is reversible while base catalysed hydrolysis is irreversible.

$\mathrm{Reason}:$ In acid catalysèd ester hydrolysis carboxylic acid is formed on which nucleophilic attack of alcohol is possible but in base catalysed ester hydrolysis carboxylate anion is formed on which nucleophilic attack is not possible.
