Answer:
The compund A would be a secondary alcohol. (For eg :- propan-2-ol)
Explanation:
Since the compound A needs to be oxidised to form B, A should definitely be an alcohol. As B reacts with DNP we are sure that its a carbonyl compound. Since it doesnt form a silver mirror it has to be a Ketone. And secondary alcohols undergo oxdn to form Ketones.
