I know the answers as I can see them in the markscheme but how would you go about doing a question like this, how can you deduce the structures from the information? https://s8.postimg.cc/mq086w7at/questionsnnsnsnsnnsnsns.png Really appreciate any replies

You need to interiorise the given information and then consider which groups of atoms are affected by hydrolysis and oxidation.
Each carbon is attached to one other carbon atom. This means that the chains of carbon atoms contain exactly two carbon atoms.
C-C
There are no double or triple carbon carbon bonds,
C-C
Hydrolysis affects ester linkages or amide linkages.
C-COOC-C
C-CONHC-C
Oxidation changes primary alcohol to aldehyde and then carboxylic acid

OK piqued my curiosity.
You are told only C,H,O so R must contain ester linkages You are told that hydrolysis of R produced two S and one T and that S gets oxidised to T.
