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.

Options

A. Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason explains the assertion.
B. Both assertion and reason are wrong statements
C. Assertion is correct statement and reason is wrong statement.
D. Assertion is wrong statement and reason is correct statement.

Explanation

To analyze the given assertion and reason, we will break down the statements and evaluate their validity step by step.

### Step 1: Evaluate the Assertion (A)
The assertion states that "Deoxyribose, C5H10O4, is not a carbohydrate."

- **Analysis**:
- Deoxyribose is a sugar that is classified as a pentose (a five-carbon sugar).
- It is a component of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
- The general formula for carbohydrates is \(C_n(H_2O)_n\), which means that carbohydrates can be represented as hydrates of carbon.
- Deoxyribose has the molecular formula \(C_5H_{10}O_4\), which can be rearranged to fit the carbohydrate formula.

**Conclusion**: The assertion is **false** because deoxyribose is indeed a carbohydrate.

### Step 2: Evaluate the Reason (R)
The reason states that "Carbohydrates are hydrates of carbon, so compounds which follow \(C_x(H_2O)_y\) formula are carbohydrates."

- **Analysis**:
- The reason correctly describes carbohydrates as hydrates of carbon.
- The general formula for carbohydrates is often represented as \(C_n(H_2O)_n\), which indicates that they are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a specific ratio.
- However, it is important to note that not all compounds that fit this formula are classified as carbohydrates, but the statement itself is generally correct.

**Conclusion**: The reason is **true** as it accurately describes carbohydrates.

### Step 3: Final Evaluation
- Since the assertion is false and the reason is true, we conclude that the overall statement is incorrect.
- Therefore, both the assertion and the reason are not aligned as true statements.

### Final Answer
Both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are incorrect. The assertion is false, while the reason is true.
