The correct Answer is:
To solve the question step by step, we need to analyze the information provided about the food items X and Y and the tests performed on them. ### Step 1: Understand the Tests Conducted - Jahnvi added dilute iodine solution to food item X. - She added copper sulphate solution and caustic soda to food item Y. ### Step 2: Analyze the Results - Food item X turned blue-black after adding iodine solution. - This indicates the presence of starch, as iodine turns blue-black in the presence of starch. - Food item Y turned purple after adding copper sulphate and caustic soda. - This indicates the presence of proteins, as the biuret test (which uses copper sulphate) turns purple in the presence of proteins. ### Step 3: Identify the Nature of Food Items - From the results: - Food item X is starch-rich (since it turned blue-black). - Food item Y is protein-rich (since it turned purple). ### Step 4: Evaluate the Statements Now, we need to evaluate the statements given in the question: 1. Y is protein-rich food. (This is correct.) 2. X is protein-rich food. (This is incorrect; X is starch-rich.) 3. X is starch-rich food. (This is correct.) 4. Both A and C. (This is correct since both A and C are true.) ### Conclusion The incorrect statement regarding the food items is: - **B: X is protein-rich food.** ### Final Answer The answer is that the incorrect statement is **B**. ---
