Assertion (A) Deoxyribose, `C_(5)H_(10)O_(4)` is not a carbohydrate.
Reason (R) Carbohydrates are hydrates of carbon so compounds which follow `C_(x)(H_(2)O)_(y)` formula are carbohydrates.

Assertion (A): Deoxyribose, C_5 H_(10)O_(4) is not a carbohydrate. Reason (R): Carbohydrates are optically active polyhydroxy aldehyde or polyhydroxy ketone or substances which give aldehyde or ketone on hydrolysis.

(A) C_6 H_(10) O_5 is a carbohydrates. (R) Most of the carbohydrates have a general formula of C_x(H_2O)_y .

Name a carbohydrate which does not correspond to general formula (C_x(H_2O)_y .

The formula C_(5)H_(10)O represents

The oxidation state of carbon in C_(2)H_(5)O_(4)^- is
