Solution:

The monomer unit of starch is $ \alpha - $ glucose $ \underset{starch}{\mathop{{{({{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{5}})}_{n}}}}\,\xrightarrow{Hydrolysis}\underset{maltose}{\mathop{{{C}_{12}}{{H}_{22}}{{O}_{11}}}}\, $ $ \xrightarrow{Hydrolysis}\underset{\alpha -\text{glucose}}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}}}\, $
