The two compounds given below are

$P$ and $Q$ are isomers of dicarboxylic acid $C _4 H _4 O _4$. Both decolorize $Br _2 / H _2 O$. On heating, $P$ forms the cyclic anhydride.

Upon treatment with dilute alkaline $KMnO _4, P$ as well as $Q$ could produce one or more than one from $S , T$ and $U$.$Image$
