Which of the following does not undergo Cannizzaro's reaction?

Given below are the four isomeric compounds $(P, Q, R, S)$. Identify the correct statements from below.
$A$. $Q, R$ and $S$ will give a precipitate with $2,4-DNP$.
$B$. $P$ and $Q$ will give a positive Bayer's test.
$C$. $Q$ and $R$ will give a sooty flame.
$D$. $R$ and $S$ will give a yellow precipitate with $I_2/NaOH$.
$E$. $Q$ alone will deposit silver with Tollen's reagent.
Choose the correct option.

The number of molecules which give the haloform test among the following molecules is $.......$.

An organic compound $(X)$ with molecular formula $C_3H_6O$ is not readily oxidised. On reduction it gives $(C_3H_8O)$ $(Y)$ which reacts with $HBr$ to give a bromide $(Z)$ which is converted to a Grignard reagent. This Grignard reagent on reaction with $(X)$ followed by hydrolysis gives $2,3-$dimethylbutan$-2-$ol. Compounds $(X)$,$(Y)$ and $(Z)$ respectively are $:$
