(A) Gluconic acid(I)
(B) Fructose(II)
(C) Tryptophan(III)
(D) Saccharic acid(IV)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Show Hint

Gluconic acid: COOH at one end only. Saccharic acid: COOH at both ends. Fructose: ketone group. Tryptophan: indole ring.

  • (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
  • (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
  • (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)
  • (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Start with the easiest unique structure.
Structure (II) contains NH2, COOH and an indole ring, so it can only be tryptophan. So C - II. Options 1 and 2 say C - III, so both are wrong.

Step 2: Use the number of acid groups.
Saccharic acid is the dicarboxylic acid of glucose, HOOC-(CHOH)4-COOH. Structure (I) is the only one with COOH at both ends. So D - I. Options 3 and 4 both say D - I, so both stay.

Step 3: Separate options 3 and 4 with fructose.
Fructose has a ketone group. Structure (IV) is the only one with C=O inside the chain. So B - IV. Option 3 gives B - II, which is the amino acid, so option 3 fails.

Step 4: Check the last pair.
Gluconic acid has COOH on one end and CH2OH on the other. That is structure (III), so A - III. Option 4 agrees with every pair.

Final Answer:
The answer is option (4): A - III, B - IV, C - II, D - I. \[ \boxed{\text{(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)}} \]
