The reagent which does not react with both, acetone and benzaldehyde. (i) Sodium hydrogen sulphite (ii) Phenyl hydrazine (iii) Fehling’s solution (iv) Grignard reagent

Solution:

Option (iii) is the answer.

Reason:

Aromatic aldehydes and ketones does not respond to Fehling’s test.
Sodium hydrogen sulphite,phenyl hydrazine, grignard reaction are common for carbonyl groups
Benzaldehyde and acetone does not react with Fehling’s solution.
