The following two compounds `I` and `II` can be distinguished by using reagent (a) aq. `NaHCO_(3)` " " (b) Neutral `FeCl_(3)` (c ) Fehling solution " " (d) `Na` metalA. `a` or c`B. `b` or c`C. `c` or `d`D. `b` ro `d`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
(a) Both does not give the test with aq. `NaHCO_(3)`.
(v) `II` give `+ve` test with neutral `FeCl_(3)` due to presence of phenolic `-OH` group, but `(I)` does not.
( c) In `(I)` aromatic aldehyde does not give Fehling test but `(II)` gives.
(d) In `(I)` and `(II)` acidic hydrogen atom is present so both give `+ve` test with `Na` metal.
