The correct answer is:

When CH3CHOHCH3 is reacted with PCl5, 2-Chloropropane is formed. Thus, X is 2-Chloropropane CH3CHClCH3.

When CH3CHOHCH3 is reacted with alc. KOH , Propene is formed. Thus, Y is CH3-CH=CH2 .

When CH3-CH=CH2 is treated with conc. H2SO4 and H2O, 2-Propanol CH3CHOHCH3 is formed. Thus Z is CH3CHOHCH3.
