Q. Which of the following compounds will give a coloured crystalline compound with image?

Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Solution:

A positive $2,4$ -DNP test means that your unknown contains either an aldehyde or ketone, while a negative test tells you that it doesn't. It's actually the hydrazine group that reacts with the aldehyde or ketone, producing a positive test.
