MHT CET Chemistry Question (2026) — Solution

Step-by-step solution

Carbohydrates that yield two to ten monosaccharide units on hydrolysis are called oligosaccharides. Sucrose is a disaccharide, which is a type of oligosaccharide, as it yields one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose on hydrolysis. Ribose, fructose, and glucose are monosaccharides, as they cannot be hydrolyzed further into simpler units of polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones.
