An organic compound \(X\) is oxidised by using acidified \(\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}\). The product obtained reacts with phenyl hydrazine but does not answer silver mirror test. The possible structure of \(X\) is

  1. A \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}\)
  2. C \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{2} \mathrm{CHOH}\)
  3. D \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CHO}\)
Verified Solution
