A compound (P)(P) with formula C4H6O2\mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_6 \mathrm{O}_2 has a fruity smell. It produces no color with phenolphthalein. On adding NaOH to (P)(\mathrm{P}) and phenolphthalein mixture, a pink color is seen. But this color of phenolphthalein fades away slowly on reaction with (P)(P). Number of possible structural isomers for (P)(P) is:A compound (P) with formula C_4 H_6 O_2 has a fruity smell. It produces no color with phenolphthalein. On adding NaOH

Correct answer

6
