Which alkene on oxidation with acidic KMnO_(4) gives only acetic acid?

An aromatic compound (A), C_(8)H_(10) , on oxidation with acidic KMnO_(4) gives dibasic acid. The compound (A) on nitration gives three isomeric nitro derivatives. The compound (A) is:

Assertion: Terminal ulkynes on oxidation with acidic KMnO_(4) at high temperature give CO_(2) and carboxylic acids. Reason: Terminal alkynes are acidic in nature

The compound Me_(3)C-NH_(2) on oxidation with acidic KMnO_(4) gives:

Oxidation of alkenes by cleavage with the acidic or alkaline KmNO_(4) of acidic K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7) at higher temperature yields products depending upon the nature of alkene. A hot solultion of KMnO_(4) is a strong oxidising agent which gives only ketones and carboxylic acids and not aldehydes (as they cannot be isolated). Oxidation of alkenes with OsO_(4) followed by alcoholic NaHSO_(3) or Na_(2)SO_(3) yeilds glycols. Answer the following questions: Which of the following alkenes on oxidation with hot KMnO_(4) gives cyclopentanone?

Toluene, on oxidation with KMnO_(4) gives

2-methyl propane on oxidation with KMnO_(4) gives
