Among the following statements about the molecules \(X\) and \(Y\), the one(s) which correct is (are) 
- A \(X\) and \(Y\) are diastereomers
- B \(X\) and \(Y\) are enantiomers
- C \(X\) and \(Y\) are both aldohexoses
- D \(X\) is a D-sugar and \(Y\) is an L-sugar
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(X\) is a D-sugar and \(Y\) is an L-sugar
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Both the given molecules contain 6 carbon atoms with an aldehyde group, so these are called aldohexoser, In \(X\), the \(-O H\) attached to second last carbon in on right hand side while in \(Y\) it is on left hand side, so \(x_{i j}\) D-sugar and \(Y\) is L-sugar, \(X\) and…
