Specific rotation of sugar solution is \(0.01\) SI units. \(200 \mathrm{kgm}^{-3}\) of impure sugar solution is taken in a polarimeter tube of length \(0.25 \mathrm{~m}\) and an optical rotation of \(0.4 \mathrm{rad}\) is observed.
The percentage of purity of sugar in the sample is

  1. A \(80 \%\)
  2. B \(89 \%\)
  3. C \(11 \%\)
  4. D \(20 \%\)
Verified Solution
