A disaccharide X cannot be oxidised by bromine water. The acid hydrolysis of X leads to a laevorotatory solution. The disaccharide X is








Options
- A

- B

- C

- D

Correct answer
A. 
Step-by-step solution
A and D cannot be oxidised by bromine water as they do not have hemiacetal linkage. The acid hydrolysis of A leads to a laevorotatory solution. A is sucrose which is dextrorotatory, on acid hydrolysis gives mixture of -D-glucopyranose and -D-fructofuranose, the mixture is laevorotatory.
