An aromatic compound 'A' (Molecular formula `C_(8)H_(8)O)`) gives positive 2, 4-DNP test. It gives a yellow precipitate of compound 'B' on treatment with iodine and sodium hydroxide solution. Compound 'A' does not give Tollen's or Fehling's test. On drastic oxidation with potassium permanganate, it forms a carboxylic acid 'C' (Molecular formula `C_(7)H_(6)O_(2)`), which is also formed along with the yellow compound in the above reaction. Identify A, B and C and write all the reactions involved.
