An unsaturated hydrocarbon X on ozonolysis gives A. Compound A when warmed with ammoniacal silver nitrate forms a bright silver mirror along the sides of the test tube. The unsaturated hydrocarbon X is :
  1. HCC-CH2-CH3
  2. CH3-CC-CH3

Solution

As (A) compound given positive Tollen's test hence it may consist  -CHO (aldehyde group) or it can be HCOOH

So for the given option :

(3) CH3-CH2-CCHOzonolysisCH3CH2COOH+HCOOH(A)+ve tollen's test

and for other compounds (options):

(3) CH3-CC-CH3Ozonolysis2CH3-COOH(Does not show tollen's test)
