The aldehyde is CH3CH2CHO. The ketone can have four carbon atoms. It is therefore ethyl methyl ketone.

Q. An alkene, $C_{7} H_{14}$ on reductive ozonolysis gave propanal and a ketone. The probable ketone is

Acetone

Ethyl methyl ketone

2-Pentanone

3-Pentanone

The aldehyde is $C H_{3} C H_{2} C H O$ . The ketone can have four carbon atoms. It is therefore ethyl methyl ketone.
