Answer» I give RED ppt with Fehling SOLUTION and II & III canbe distinguished by iodoform test I & II canbe distinguished by simple CHEMCIAL method I & II give red ppt. with Fehlilng solution and III & IV can be distinguished by iodoform test II give red ppt. Fehling solution and I & IV can be distinguished by iodoform test. Solution :By the condition of the question.I & IV both compounds do not GIE iodoform test ad I & II both are GIVES similar test
