Assertion : sucrose is known as invert sugar
Reason : sucrose is a disaccharide

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

if the assertion and reason both are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Sucrose does not undergo mutarotation. Glucose and fructose shows mutarotation because they have two forms `alpha` and `beta`. It is fact that sucrose is a disaccharide. Therefore, assertion is false but reason is true.
