A compound (X) with a molecular formula C5H10O gives a positive 2,4-DNP test but a negative Tollen’s test. On oxidation it gives a carboxylic acid (Y) with a molecular formula C3H6O2. Potassium salt of (Y) undergoes Kolbe’s reaction and gives a hydrocarbon (Z).
(X), (Y) and (Z) respectively are
  1. pentan-3-one, propanoic acid, butane
  2. pentanal, pentanoic acid, octane
  3. 2-methylbutanone, butanoic acid, hexane
  4. 2, 2-dimethylpropanone, propanoic acid, hexane
