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.
