Solution

The correct option is C $X$ : $C H_{3} - C O - C H_{3}$ , $Y$ : $C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H O$
The compound $X$ on oxidation gives a mixture of acetic acid and formic acid, while $Y$ on oxidation forms only propionic acid. $X$ and $Y$ are $C H_{3} - C O - C H_{3}$ and $C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H O$ respectively.
$C H_{3} - C O - C H_{3} oxidation - ---- \to C H_{3} - C O O H + H - C O O H$
$C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H O oxidation - ---- \to C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C O O H$

Option C is correct
