    The general molecular formula for disaccharide is

    A)  \[{{C}_{12}}{{H}_{22}}{{O}_{11}}\]          

    B)         \[{{C}_{10}}{{H}_{20}}{{O}_{10}}\]          

    C)         \[{{C}_{12}}{{H}_{20}}{{O}_{10}}\]          

    D)         \[{{C}_{12}}{{H}_{22}}{{O}_{10}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Disaccharides are the carbohydrates which on hydrolysis gives two same or different mono saccharides. Their general formula is \[{{C}_{12}}{{H}_{22}}{{O}_{11}}.\] e.g., \[\underset{sucrose}{\mathop{{{C}_{12}}{{H}_{22}}{{O}_{11}}}}\,+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{{H}^{+}}}\underset{\text{glucose}}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}}}\,+\underset{fructose}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}}}\,\]
