Solution
The correct option is C STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is False D-glucose is dextrorotatory where as L-glucose is laevorotatory. However the general conclusion that D-compounds are always dextrorotatory and L-compounds are always laevorotatory is incorrect. Because there are some dextrorotatory D-compounds and laevorotatory L compounds. Thus STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is False.
