Correct Answer - D
`underset"Ethane nitrile"(CH_3CN) underset(aq. H_2SO_4, 2H_2O -NH_3)overset"Hydrolysis"to undersetundersetA"Ethanoic acid"(CH_3COOH) underset("soda lime," Delta -CO_2) overset"Decarboxylation"to undersetBunderset"Methane"(CH_4)`
Hence , A and B are ethanoic acid and methane respectively
