Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Sucrose is a disaccharide and a non-reducing sugar.
Reason (R): Sucrose involves glycosidic linkage between $C_{1}$ of $\beta$-glucose and $C_{2}$ of $\alpha$-fructose.
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

• A. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the true explanation of (A)
• B. (A) is false but (R) is true.
• C. (A) is true but (R) is false
• D. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the true explanation of (A)

Answer: (C)

Surcrose is example of disaccharide & non reducing sugar
Assertion : correct
Sucrose involves glycosidic linkage between $C_{1}$ of $\alpha-D$-glucose $C _{2}$ of $\beta-D$-fructose
Reason : Incorrect
