Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) equimolar mixture of glucose and fructose

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Sucrose on hydrolysis in the presence of dil. acid or the enzyme invertase gives one molecule each of glucose and fructose.
\(\underset{\text { Sucrose }}{ C _{12} H _{22} O _{11}}+ H _2 O \xrightarrow[\text { or invertase }]{ H _3 O ^{+}} \underset{ D (+) \text { Glucose }}{ C _6 H _{12} O _6}\) \(+~\underset{ D (-) \text { Fructose }}{ C _6 H _{12} O _6}\)
