With reference to the scheme given which of the given statement (s) about T, U, V and W is (are) correct?

A) T is soluble in hot aqueous NaOH.

B) U is optically active

C) Molecular formula of W is

$C_{10}H_{18}O_{4}$

D) V gives effervescence on treatment with aqueous

$NaHCO_{3}$

Option A,C,D

(a) T is an ester hydrolysis in hot aqueous alkali

(b) $LiAlH_{4}$ reduces ester to alcohol as

'U" No chiral carbon optically inactive'
(c) U on treatment with an excess of acetic anhydride forms a diester as

(d) U on treatment with CrO₃ l H⁺ undergo oxidation to diacid which gives
effervescence with $NaHCO_{3}$
