A compound (X) containing C,H and O is unreactive towards sodium. It does not added up bromine. It does also not react with Schiff\'s reagent. On refluxing with excess of HI,(X) gives only (Y).(Y) on hydrolysis gives (Z) which can be converted to (Y) by the action of P and `I_(2)`. Compound (Z) on oxidation gives an acid of equivalent mass 60. What are (X), (Y) and (Z) ?
