When acetone & 2-pentanone are added in a base for an aldol condensation reaction there are several possibilities that may arise for product formation.

But structure in choice (2) is not possible. It will be possible with 3-pentanone.

The enol form of acetone exists in less than 0.1% quantity, since its keto form is highly stable. But in the case of acetylacetone, the enol form is stabilized by intramolecular H-bonding, so its quantity increases to approximately 15%.
The intramolecular H-bond in the enol form of acetylacetone is shown.

In Tollen's test for aldehyde, aldehyde is oxidized to carboxylic acid salt as:
R – CHO + H? O →R – COO? + 3H? + 2e?
So; 2e? are transferred per aldhyde group.
