A compound 'A' (C2H4O) on oxidation gives 'B' (C2H4O2). 'A' undergoes Iodoform reaction to give yellow precipitate and reacts with HCN to form the compound 'C'. 'C' on hydrolysis gives 2-hydroxypropanoic acid. Identify the compounds 'A', 'B' and 'C'. Write down equations for the reactions involved.
