Solution:

An organic compound $X\left( C _{7} H _{7} Cl \right)$ is benzyl chloride when reacted with $KCN / C _{2} H _{5} OH$ gave major product benzyl cyanide $Y\left( C _{6} H _{5} CH _{2} CN \right) . {Y}$

on reduction with $LiAlH_{4}$ gives 2 -phenyl ethan-l-amine $\left( C _{6} H _{5}\left( CH _{2}\right)_{2} NH _{2}\right), Z$. Reaction involved are as follows:
