Y can be obtained by Etard's reaction, Z undergoes disproportionation reaction with concentrated alkali. X could be
Acetophenone cannot be prepared easily starting from
C6H5CH(OH)CH3
C6H5CH3
C6H5C≡CH
C6H6

C6H5CH3
Acetophenone cannot be prepared easily starting from toluene because preparation of acetophenone from toluene can only be done by using multistep reaction. From rest of the compounds, it can be made easily
C6H5-CH(OH)-CH3 C6H5-CO-CH3
C6H5C≡CH C6H5-CO-CH3
C6H5 + CH3COCl C6H5COCH3
Iodoform reaction is answered by all, except
CH3-CH(OH)-CH2-COOH
CH3CHO
CH3-CH2-OH
CH3-CH2-CH2OH
