Solution

The correct option is C specific rotation of ‘invert sugar’ is 20
C12H22O11+H2OH+C6H12O6D(+)glucose+52+C6H12O6D()fructose92αinvert sugar=52922=20 (average is taken as both monomers are one mole each)
Invert sugar is a mixture of glucose and fructose. Glucose on reaction with bromine water gives gluconic acid where the aldehydic group gets oxidised to carboxylic group. Fructose is unaffected by the addition of bromine water.
