Solution

The correct option is B $C H_{3} C O O H$ and $C H_{2} = C H_{2}$
Alkaline potassium permanganate oxidises ethanol to ethanoic acid.
(Image)
Therefore, compound $‘ A^{'}$ is ethanoic acid $(C H_{3} C O O H)$ .
Ethanol on heating with hot and conc. $H_{2} S O_{4}$ undergoes dehydration to give ethene $(C H_{2} = C H_{2})$ , which is an unsaturated hydrocarbon and therefore, decolourises bromine water.
Therefore, compound $‘ B^{'}$ is ethene $(C H_{2} = C H_{2})$ .
Hence, the correct answer is option (b).
