Options
- A2
- B3
- C4
- D5
Correct answer
A. 2
Step-by-step solution
Positive 2,4 - D N P test ⇒ Carbonyl group. Positive Fehling's test ⇒ Aliphatic aldehyde group. Aromatic aldehydes and ketones do not give Fehling's test. Hence, among the given options, compounds (iii) and (v) will give positive 2,4 - D N P and Fehling's test.
