An organic compound cọntains 69.77 %carbon, 11.63 %` hydrogen and rest oxygen. The molecular mass of the compound is 86 . It does not reduce Tollens' reagent but forms an addition compound with sodiumhydrogensulphite and give positive iodoform test. On vigorous oxidation it gives ethanoic and propanoicacid. Write the possible structure of the compound.
