It is given that the compound (with molecular formula C9H10O) forms 2, 4-DNP derivative and reduces Tollen's reagent. Therefore, the given compound must be an aldehyde.

Again, the compound undergoes cannizzaro reaction and on oxidation gives 1, 2-benzenedicarboxylic acid. Therefore, the -CHO group is directly attached to a benzene ring and this benzaldehyde is ortho-substituted. Hence, the compound is 2-ethylbenzaldehyde.
