cyanide on hydrolysis gives carboxylic acids.

Explanation:

HCN+2H2O→ HCOOH

steps:
(1) $H - C \equiv N + H_{2} O \to H - C (O H) = N H$ $H-C-=N + H_"2"O → H-C(OH)=NH$
(2) $H - C (O H) = N H + H_{2} O \to H - C {(O H)}_{2} N H 2$ $H-C(OH)=NH + H_"2"O →H-C(OH)_"2"NH2$

(3) $H - C {(O H)}_{2} N H 2$ $H-C(OH)_"2"NH2$ will further give HCOOH + NH3

OXAMIDE formation:

${(C N)}_{2} + H 2 O + H C l \to N H 2 - C O - C O - N H 2$ $(CN)_"2"+ H2O+ HCl rarr NH2-CO-CO-NH2$

(USING same process as above)
