An organic compound of molecular formula ${{\rm{C}}_3}{{\rm{H}}_6}{\rm{O}}$ did not give a silver mirror with Tollen’s reagent, but gave an oxime with hydroxylamine, it may be

${\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_3} - {\rm{CO}} - {\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_3}$

${{\rm{C}}_2}{{\rm{H}}_5}{\rm{CHO}}$

${\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_2} = {\rm{CH}} - {\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_2} - {\rm{OH}}$

${\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_3} - {\rm{O}} - {\rm{CH}} = {\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_2}$

An organic compound of molecular formula

{\mathrm{C}_3}{\mathrm{H}_6}\mathrm{O}

did not give a silver mirror with Tollen’s reagent, but gave an oxime with hydroxylamine, it may be

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3} - \mathrm{CO} - \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}

Option A (

\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3} - \mathrm{CO} - \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}

) is correct because it is a ketone that does not give a silver mirror test but forms an oxime.
