The correct statement regarding nucleophilic substitution reaction in a chiral alkyl halide is :

Racemisation occurs in \(S _{ N } 1\) reaction and inversion occurs in \(S _{ N } 2\) reaction.

Racemisation occurs in \(S _{ N } 1\) reaction and retention occurs in \(S _{ N } 2\) reaction.

Retention occurs in \(S _{ N } 1\) reaction and inversion occurs in \(S _{ N } 2\) reaction.

Racemisation occurs in both \(S _{ N } 1\) and \(S _{ N } 2\) reactions.
