125. An aromatic compound $$\left( X \right)\left( {{C_8}{H_8}O} \right)$$    gives positive 2, 4-$$DNP$$  test. It gives a yellow precipitate of compound $$(Y)$$  on reaction with iodine and sodium hydroxide solution. $$(X)$$  does not give Tollens' test on oxidation under drastic conditions. It gives a carboxylic acid $$\left( Z \right)\left( {{C_7}{H_6}{O_2}} \right).$$    $$(Z)$$  is also formed with $$(Y)$$  during the reaction. $$(X), (Y)$$   and $$(Z)$$  respectively are
