Q. An organic compound $(A)$ with molecular formula $C_{9}H_{10}O$ forms an orange-red precipitate with 2,4-DNP reagent and gives yellow precipitate on heating with iodine and $NaOH$. It does not reduce Tollen reagent or Fehling solution nor it decolourises bromine water as Baeyer’s reagent. On drastic oxidation with chromic acid, it gives a carboxylic acid having molecular formula $C_{7}H_{6}O_{2}$. Identify the compound $(A)$`
