Statement 1 : Deoxyribose, C₅H₁₀O₄ is not a carbohydrate.
Statement 2 : Carbohydrates are hydrates of carbon so compounds which follow C_x(H₂O)_y formula are carbohydrates.
Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
Both statements are wrong: deoxyribose is a carbohydrate (a pentose sugar of DNA), and the old "hydrate of carbon" formula definition is inadequate (deoxyribose itself fails Cₓ(H₂O)ᵧ yet is a carbohydrate). NCERT print key (ii).
