Answer:
KMnO4 is a potent oxidizing substance, so it easily reacts with alkenes and alkynes. There are usually two possible outcomes for these kinds of oxidizing reactions, depending on the additional conditions of the system:
Cold and alkaline conditions (forming a diol)
Hot and acidic conditions (forming two carbonyl molecules)
