Compound $A$ $(C_9H_{10}O)$ shows a positive iodoform test. Oxidation of $A$ with $KMnO_4/KOH$ gives acid $B$ $(C_8H_6O_4)$. The anhydride of $B$ is used for the preparation of phenolphthalein. Compound $A$ 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 $:$
