Identify the pair of compounds which can be distinguished by the iodoform test.

An organic compound $P$ having molecular formula $C_6H_6O_3$ gives a ferric chloride test and does not have an intramolecular hydrogen bond. The compound $P$ reacts with $3$ equivalents of $NH_2OH$ to produce oxime $Q$. Treatment of $P$ with excess methyl iodide in the presence of $KOH$ produces compound $R$ as the major product. Reaction of $R$ with excess iso-butylmagnesium bromide followed by treatment with $H_3O^{+}$ gives compound $S$ as the major product. The total number of methyl $(-CH_3)$ groups in compound $S$ is . . . .

Number of molecules from the following which cannot give the iodoform reaction is $:$ Ethanol,Isopropyl alcohol,Bromoacetone,$2-$Butanol,$2-$Butanone,Butanal,$2-$Pentanone,$3-$Pentanone,Pentanal,and $3-$Pentanol.

Match the reactants in Column-$I$ with the major products in Column-$II$.
Column-$I$ (Reactants)Column-$II$ (Products)
$(A)$ $HCHO + \text{Cyclohexyl-MgBr} \rightarrow X \xrightarrow{H_2O} Y$$(i)$ $\text{Benzenesulfonic acid}$
$(B)$ $\text{2-oxocyclohexylacetate} \xrightarrow{NaBH_4}$$(ii)$ $\text{Cyclohexylmethanol}$
$(C)$ $HCHO + CH_3-CH_2-CH(CH_3)-CH_2-MgBr \rightarrow X \xrightarrow{H_2O} Y$$(iii)$ $\text{2-(2-hydroxycyclohexyl)acetate}$
