The correct answer is:
2-propanol
In the question, the oxidation product of organic compound \( (X) \) do not answer silver mirror test but react with phenyl
hydrazine,

No silver mirror test
therefore, \( X \) is propan-2-ol, which on oxidation give acetone which further react with phenyl hydrazine to give acetone
phenylhydrazone, but not react give silver mirror test. The reactions involved are

Acetone phenylhydrazone
hydrazine,

No silver mirror test
