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)-overset(CI)overset(|)underset(CI)underset(|)(C )-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-CH_(3)`
B. `CH_(3)CH_(2)-overset(CI)overset(|)underset(CI)underset(|)(C )-CH_(2)CH_(3)`
C. `CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)overset(CI)overset(|)underset(CI)(CH)`
D. `CH_(3)-overset(CI)overset(|)(CH)-overset(CI)overset(|)(CH)-CH_(2)-CH_(5)`

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 ketone.
