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

Ortho, meta and para xylene gives dicarboxylic acid on treatment with `KMnO_4` . 1-butene and iso-butene on oxidation with hot alkaline`KMnO_4` gives `CO_2` .
