Aryan took two food samples X and Y in separate test tubes. He added 2-3 drops of Benedict's solution in food sample X and heated it while he added two drops of copper sulphate solution and few drops of caustic soda solution in food sample Y. He observed that sample X turned orange while sample Y turned violet.
Which of the following is correct regarding X and Y?

A

X could be egg while Y could be boiled potato.

B

X could be ripened banana while Y could be milk.

C

X could be wheat while Y could be butter.

D

X could be milk while Y could be rice.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the food samples X and Y, we will analyze the reactions that took place in both samples based on the substances added and the color changes observed. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Tests Conducted:** - For sample X: Benedict's solution was added and heated. - For sample Y: Copper sulfate and caustic soda were added. 2. **Analyze Sample X:** - Benedict's solution is a reagent used to test for reducing sugars (such as glucose). - Upon heating, if reducing sugars are present, the solution changes color to orange or brick red. - Since sample X turned orange, we can conclude that sample X contains reducing sugars. 3. **Analyze Sample Y:** - The combination of copper sulfate and caustic soda is used in the Biuret test, which is a test for proteins. - The presence of proteins causes the solution to turn violet. - Since sample Y turned violet, we can conclude that sample Y contains proteins. 4. **Determine the Food Samples:** - From the options provided, we need to match the identified components (sugars in X and proteins in Y) with the correct food items. - Common sources of reducing sugars include fruits like ripened bananas. - Common sources of proteins include milk. 5. **Conclusion:** - Sample X (which turned orange) is likely to be a ripened banana (which contains reducing sugars). - Sample Y (which turned violet) is likely to be milk (which contains proteins). ### Final Answer: - Sample X contains reducing sugars (likely a ripened banana). - Sample Y contains proteins (likely milk).
