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: $\frac{1}{2} [+ {52.7}^{o} + (- {92.4}^{o})] = - {19.9}^{o}]$
