Given below are two statements Statement I: D-(+)-glucose + D-(+)-fructose —H2O→ Sucrose hydrolysis→ D-(+)-glucose + D-(+)-fructose Statement II: Invert sugar is formed during sucrose hydrolysis. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

1. (1) Both Statement I and Statement II are true
2. (2) Both Statement I and Statement II are false
3. (3) Statement I is true but Statement II is false
4. (4) Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct answer: (4) Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Solution

Statement I is incorrect because it inaccurately describes the reaction; sucrose hydrolysis does not directly yield D-(+)-glucose and D-(+)-fructose without the addition of water. Statement II is correct, as invert sugar, which is a mixture of glucose and fructose, is indeed produced during the hydrolysis of sucrose.
