1-Propanol is subjected to different oxidants. Which statements are correct?

APCC in $CH X_{2} Cl X_{2}$ gives propanal.
BJones reagent gives propanoic acid.
CHot alkaline $KMnO X_{4}$ followed by $H X_{3} O X^{+}$ gives propanoic acid.
DPCC in $CH X_{2} Cl X_{2}$ gives propanoic acid.

Answer: A, B, C

PCC under anhydrous conditions stops at the aldehyde, so propanal forms and statement 4 is wrong. Jones reagent (aqueous acidic chromic acid) and hot alkaline permanganate both oxidise a primary alcohol through the aldehyde to the carboxylic acid. Statements 1, 2 and 3 are correct.
