Answer 2

Methyl isocyanide on hydrolysis in acidic medium  gives

(2) Methyl amine and Methanoic acid

The isocyanide group is represented as -N≡C.

When isocyanides are hydrolysed, primary amines are formed along with methanoic/formic acid.

Similarly, when methyl isocyanide is hydrolysed, the primary amine formed would obviously be methyl amine along with methanoic acid.

The reaction is as follows:

CH₃NC + H₂O → CH₃NH₂ + HCOOH

So, option (2) is correct.
