Maltose, a disaccharide ( C 12 H 22 O 11) is a reducing sugar, which upon hydrolysis yield 2 moles of D-(+)-glucose. In it the two D-glucose unit are linked through α-glycosidic linkage between C -1 of one glucose unit and C-4 of the other.

Q. Assertion : Maltose is a reducing sugar which gives two moles of D-glucose on hydrolysis
Reason : Maltose has a $1, 4 - β$ -glycosidic link-age

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

If assertion is true but reason is false

If both assertion and reason are false

Maltose, a disaccharide $(C_{12} H_{22} O_{11})$ is a reducing sugar, which upon hydrolysis yield 2 moles of $D - (+)$ -glucose. In it the two $D$ -glucose unit are linked through $α$ -glycosidic linkage between $C - 1$ of one glucose unit and C-4 of the other.

Q. Assertion : Maltose is a reducing sugar which gives two moles of D-glucose on hydrolysis Reason : Maltose has a1,4−β-glycosidic link-age
