Solution

The correct option is D STATEMENT-1 is False, STATEMENT-2 is True
Both the free carbonyl groups in sucrose are involved in the glycosidic linkage formation. So, it is a non reducing sugar due to absence of free carbonyl group. So, assertion is false.
In sucrose, the glucose unit is in the 6 membered pyranose form and the fructose unit is in the 5 membered furanose form. So, reason is correct.
