Q. An organic compound $(X)$ with molecular formula $C_{3}H_{6}O$ is not readily oxidised. On reduction it gives $C_{3}H_{8}O (Y)$ which reacts with $HBr$ to give a bromide $(Z)$ which is converted to Grignard reagent. Grignard reagent reacts with $(X)$ to give $2, 3-$dimethylbutan-$2$-ol. $(X), (Y)$ and $(Z)$ respectively are

Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Solution:

Correct answer is (c) $CH_{3}COCH{3}, CH_{3}CH(OH)CH_{3}, CH_{3}CH(Br)CH_{3}$
