Solution

The correct option is A 64 %
64 % of βD(+) glucopyranose is found at equilibrium in the aqueous solution.
36 % of αD(+) glucopyranose is found at equilibrium in the aqueous solution.

In aqueous solution, a dynamic equilibrium is established between the α- and β-glucopyranose structures. The equilibrium mixture of glucose at room temperature consists of about 36% of the α-anomer and 64% of the β-anomer. There is only a negligible amount of the open chain form.
