Solution

The correct option is B $- {19.9}^{o}$
Invert sugar is an equimolar mixture of D-glucose and D-fructose. It is obtained by the hydrolysis of sucrose. The specific rotation is one-half the sum of the of individual monosaccharides: $\frac{1}{2} [+ {52.7}^{o} + (- {92.4}^{o})] = - {19.9}^{o}]$

Q. For ‘invert sugar’, the correct statement(s) is/are:
(Given: Specific rotations of (+)-sucrose, (+)-maltose, L-(–)-glucose and L-(+)-fructose in aqueous solution
are

+ 66^{o}, + 140^{o}, - 52^{o}
