The correct options are
B X is a non-reducing sugar and
Y is a reducing sugar
C The glucosidic linkages in
X and
Y are
α and
β, respectively
In
X, the glycosidic linkage is between two anomeric
C atoms, while in
Y, it is only with one anomeric carbon, the other one is free.
X has the acetal linkage and
Y has the hemiacetal linkage. As we know that the carbohydrates with hemiacetal linkage are reducing in nature, and with acetal linkage are non-reducing in nature. Hence, it can be concluded from here that
X is a non-reducing sugar and
Y is a reducing sugar.
Also, X is the α anomer, and Y is the β anomer of D(+) Glucose. Therefore, the glycosidic linkages in X and Y are α and β respectively.
