In the following reactions: The product A, B and C are

A)                                 A - \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO\]                       B - \[C{{H}_{2}}O\]                C - \[C{{H}_{3}}COC{{H}_{2}}OH\]

B) A - \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\]                       B - \[C{{H}_{3}}OH\]             C - \[C{{H}_{3}}CHOH\]\[C{{H}_{3}}OH\]

C) A - \[C{{H}_{2}}O\]                B - \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO\]                       C - \[C{{H}_{3}}COCHO\]

D) A - No reaction               B - No reaction               C - No reaction  

Correct Answer: B

Solution :

[b] (X) is an ozonide of double bond which is first reduced to aldehydes which are further reduced by LAH to alcohols (Y) is an Ozonide of triple bond which is first reduced to carbonyl compounds and then to alcohol
