How many isomers `'X'` of `C_(8)H_(10)` given only aromatic dicarboxylic acid when react with hot alkaline `KMNO_(4)`.
How many isomers `'Y'` of `C_(4)H_(8)` give `CO_(2)` when reacts withh hot alkaline `KMnO_(4)`. Find the value of `X+Y`?

Answer

5

Explanation

`underset(KMNO_(4)) overset("hot alkaline")to` Aromatic dicarboxylic acid
So `X=3`
`C-C-C=C` or `C-underset(C) underset(|)(C)=C underset((KMnO_(4)) overset("hot alkaline")to CO_(2)`
`Y=2`
`X+Y=5`
