An organic compound [A] C6H10, on reduction first gives [B] C6H12 and finally [C] C6H14[A] on ozonolysis followed by hydrolysis gives two aldehydes [D] C2H4O, and [E] C2H2O2. Oxidation of [B] with acidified KMnO4 gives acid [F] C4H8O2. Determine the structures of the compounds [A] to [F] with proper reasoning.
