    Solution :

    \[1%\] alkaline \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\] solution is known as Baeyers reagent. It decolourises by nikene and alkyne both compound which decolourises Baeyers reagent shows the presence of multiple bonds. \[\begin{matrix}    \begin{align}   & C{{H}_{2}} \\  & || \\  & C{{H}_{2}} \\ \end{align} & +{{H}_{2}}O+[O]\xrightarrow[KMn{{O}_{4}}]{1%Alkaline}  \\ \end{matrix}\underset{ethylene\,\,glycol}{\mathop{\begin{matrix}    C{{H}_{2}}-OH  \\    \begin{align}   & | \\  & C{{H}_{2}}-OH \\ \end{align}  \\ \end{matrix}}}\,\]            \[\begin{matrix}    \begin{align}   & CH \\  & ||| \\  & CH \\ \end{align} & +2[O]  \\ \end{matrix}\xrightarrow[KMn{{O}_{4}}\cdot {{H}_{2}}O]{1%\,\,Alkaline}\underset{\begin{align}   & | \\  & C=O \\  & | \\  & C=O \\  & | \\  & H \\  & glyoxal \\ \end{align}}{\mathop{H}}\,\]
