Compound (A) $C_{6} H_{12} O_{2}$ is optically active, Gives positive tollens reagents test, which of on oxidation with $K M n O_{4}$ gives (B) $C_{6} H_{10} O_{3}$ . Compound B upon strong heating ( undergo decarboxylation) produces symmetrical ketone (C) $C_{5} H_{10} O$ . Compound (C) will not undergo addition reaction with $N a H S O_{3}$ . Compound (A) reacts with excess of $E t M g B r$ followed by quenching gives product (D) $C_{8} H_{18} O_{2}$ .
If x is the number of stereoisomers Possible for the compound (D) and y is the total number of stereoisomers possible for the compound (A) find the value of $x + y$
