A compound (A) `C_(5)H_(10) Cl_(2)` on hydrolysis gives `C_(5)H_(10)O` which reacts with `NH_(2)OH`, forms iodoform but does not give Fehling test (A) is :

Options

A. `CH_(3)-underset(Cl)underset(|)overset(Cl)overset(|)(C)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-CH_(3)`
B. `CH_(3)CH_(2)-underset(Cl)underset(|)overset(Cl)overset(|)(C)-CH_(2)CH_(3)`
C. `CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)underset(Cl)underset(|)overset(Cl)overset(|)(C)H`
D. `CH_(3)-overset(Cl)overset(|)(C)H-overset(Cl)overset(|)(C)H-CH_(2)-CH_(3)`

Answer

A

Explanation

As A reacts with hydroxylamine it means A may be aldehyde or ketone, but it does not react with Fehling solution hence A must be a ketone.Secondly it forms iodoform which is a characteristic reaction of methyl keton.
