Solution

Step 1: determining the functional group
An organic molecule with the chemical formula $C_{9} H_{10} O$ produces $2, 4 - DNP$ derivative while also reducing Tollens reagent.
As a result, the chemical is an aldehyde.
Step 2: Analyzing more properties
The chemical goes through the Cannizzaro reaction.
As a result, it lacks an alpha H atom.
It produces $1, 2 -$ benzene dicarboxylic acid after severe oxidation.
As a result, the $- CHO$ group is directly linked to the benzene ring, resulting in ortho di-substituted benzene.
$2 -$ ethylbenzaldehyde is the compound.
Reactions involved:

$2 -$ ethylbenzaldehyde is the compound.
