    A compound X with molecular formula \[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{8}}O\] can be oxidised to a compound Y with the molecular formula \[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{6}}{{O}_{2}}\] X is most likely to be         [MP PMT 1991]

    A)                 Primary alcohol

    B)                 Secondary alcohol

    C)                 Aldehyde           

    D)                 Ketone

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[\underset{X}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{2}}-OH}}\,\xrightarrow{\text{Oxidation}}\underset{Y}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}COOH}}\,\] Since on oxidation same no. of carbon atoms are obtained in as therefore alcohol is primary
