Question

(+)-Sucrose has a specific rotation of +66.5, while D-(+)-glucose and D-(-)-fructose have specific rotations of +52.5 and -92.4 respectively. After complete hydrolysis of (+)-sucrose by dilute acid, the specific rotation of the hydrolysis product, called invert sugar [a 1 : 1 mixture of D-(+)-glucose and D-(-)-fructose] is $- x$ .
the nearest integer value of $x$ is:
