An organic compound 'X' with the molecular formula $\text{C}_5\text{H}_{10}\text{O}$ forms 2,4-DNP derivative, does not reduce Tollens' reagent but gives positive iodoform test on heating with $\text{I}_2$ in the presence of $\text{NaOH}$. Compound 'X' gives ethanoic acid and propanoic acid on vigorous oxidation. Write the (i) Structure of the compound 'X'. (ii) Structure of the product obtained when compound 'X' reacts with 2,4-DNP reagent. (iii) Structures of the products obtained when compound 'X' is heated with $\text{I}_2$ in the presence of $\text{NaOH}$.
