$$ \text { Complete the following reaction sequence and give the name of major product ' } \mathrm{P} \text { '. } $$

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The condensation reaction between $\mathrm{CH_3-CH=O}$ and 
under optimum pH will produce 
Statement II: The molecule,
will generate $\mathrm{Ph-CH=O}$ in the presence of dilute acid.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Compound $(\mathrm{X})$ is subjected to the sequence of reactions as shown above. Molar mass of the major product $(\mathrm{Y})$ formed is $\_\_\_\_$ $\mathrm{g} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}$.
(Given molar mass in $\mathrm{g} \mathrm{mol}^{-1} \mathrm{C}: 12, \mathrm{H}: 1, \mathrm{O}: 16$ )
An organic compound “x” where molar ratio of C, O and H are equal, on treatment with 50% KOH under reflux followed by acidification produced “y”. The most likely structure of “y” is:
[Molar mass of ‘x’ is 58 g mol−1]
