The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given assertion and reason, let's break it down step by step: ### Step 1: Evaluate the Assertion - **Assertion**: "Glucose is the commonest sugar which provides energy on hydrolysis." - **Analysis**: Glucose is indeed one of the most common sugars and is a primary source of energy for living organisms. However, the statement that it provides energy specifically through hydrolysis is misleading. Glucose does not undergo hydrolysis to release energy; instead, it is metabolized through processes like glycolysis to produce energy. Thus, the assertion is partially true but not entirely accurate. ### Step 2: Evaluate the Reason - **Reason**: "Glucose is the precursor of all types of carbohydrates." - **Analysis**: This statement is false. While glucose is a fundamental monosaccharide and can be involved in the synthesis of various carbohydrates, it is not the precursor for all carbohydrates. There are other monosaccharides and polysaccharides that do not derive from glucose. Therefore, this reason is incorrect. ### Step 3: Conclusion - Since the assertion is partially true but misleading, and the reason is false, we can conclude that: - The assertion is **True** but not entirely accurate. - The reason is **False**. ### Final Answer The correct option is (c): If Assertion is True but the Reason is False. ---
