An organic compound (P) having molecular formula `C_(9)H_(10)O` form an orange precipitate (Q) with 2,4-DNP reagent. Compound (P) gives a yellow precipitate (R ) when heated in the presence of iodine and NaOH along with a colourless compound (S). (P) neither reduce Tollen's reagent or Fehling's solution nor it decolourises bromine water.
On drastic oxidation of (P) with chromic acid, a carboxylic acid (T) having molecular formula `C_(7)H_(6)O_(2)` is obtained. Deduce the structures of the compounds (P) to (T).
