Solution:

Carbylamines on hydrolysis give formic acid which reduces Fehling's solution.
$ \underset{ethyl\text{ }carbylamine}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2}}NC}}\,+2{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow[{}]{{{H}^{+}}}\underset{ethylamine}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}}}\, $ $ +\underset{formic\text{ }acid}{\mathop{HCOOH}}\, $
