A compound X ...

Question

A compound X is formed by the reaction of a carboxylic acid $C_{2} H_{4} O_{2}$ and an alcohol in presence of a few drops of $H_{2} S O_{4}$ . The alcohol on oxidation with alkaline $K M n O_{4}$ followed by acidification gives the same carboxylic acid as used in this reaction. Then $X$ is:

ethyl ethanoate
