Question

Match the classes of monosaccharides listed in column I with examples given in column II and select the right number showing the correct combination of alphabets of the two columns

$\begin{array}{cccc}& \text{Column I}& & \text{Column I}\\ & \text{Monosaccharides}& & \text{Examples}\\ A& \text{Tetroses}& e& C_7{H}_{14}{O}_7\\ B& \text{Hexoses}& f& C_4{H}_8{O}_4\\ C& \text{Pentoses}& g& C_6{H}_{12}{O}_6\\ D& \text{Heptoses}& h& C_5{H}_{10}{O}_5\\ & & i& C_3{H}_6{O}_3\end{array}$

• A. A = e, B = f, C = g, D = h
• B. A = h, B = C = e, D = g
• C. A = B = h, C = g, D = f
• D. A = f, B = g, C = h, D = e

Answer 1

The correct option is D

A = f, B = g, C = h, D = e
