A hydrocarbon...

Question

A hydrocarbon X adds on one mole of hydrogen to give another hydrocarbon and decolourised bromine water. X reacts with $K M n O_{4}$ in presence of acid to give two moles of the same carboxylic acid. The structure of X is

Solution

The correct option is C $C H_{3} C H_{2} C H = C H C H_{2} C H_{3}$
Since it produces the same carboxylic acid, it should have a symmetrically centralised double bond(groups on either side of the double bond are the same). Using that concept, the answer is $C H_{3} C H_{2} C H = C H C H_{2} C H_{3}$
