A molecule ( X ) with following structure under mild acidic condition is hydrolysed to produce (Y) and (Z). Identify the correct statements about (Y) and (Z).

figure

(X) (A) Both (Y) and (Z) have same molar mass (B) (Y) and (Z) can be distinguished from each other by NaHCO3\mathrm{NaHCO}_{3} (C) (Y) and (Z) react with HCN with same rates (D) (Y) and (Z) undergo addition reaction with 2, 4-DNP Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. Option A:

    A, B and C Only

  2. Option B:

    B and C Only

  3. Option C:

    C and D Only

  4. Option D:

    A and D Only

    Correct

Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

Y will give positive fehling's test Molar mass of [Z](C3H6O)=58[\mathrm{Z}]\left(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{6} \mathrm{O}\right)=58 Molar mass of [Y](C3H6O)=58[\mathrm{Y}]\left(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{6} \mathrm{O}\right)=58
