Correct answer is (b) butan-2-ol

Q. An alcohol $X$ when treated with hot cone. $H_{2} S O_{4}$ gave an alkene $Y$ with formula $C_{4} H_{8}$ . This alkene on ozonolysis gives single product with molecular formula $C_{2} H_{4} O$ . The alcohol is

butan- $1$ - $o l$

butan- $2$ - $o l$

$2$ -methylpropan- $1$ - $o l$

$2$ , $2$ -dimethylbutan- $1$ - $o l$

Correct answer is (b) butan- $2$ - $o l$
