An organic compound (A) `(C_(5)H_(7)OCl)` reacts rapidly with ethanol to give (B) `(C_(7)H_(12)O_(2))`. (A) also reacts with water to produce an acid which reacts with bromine to give (C ) `(C_(5)H_(8)Br_(2)O_(2))`. (B) on boiling with `H_(2)SO_(4)` forms an acid (D). When (D) is oxidised with `KMnO_(4)` an acid (E ) `(C_(4)H_(6)O_(3))` is produced. On mild heating, (E ) gives (F) `(C_(3)H_(6)O)` which cannot be oxidised by ammoniacal `AgNO_(3)`. Identify the compounds (A) to (F).
