Correct Answer: Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). Inverted sugar is an edible mixture of two simple sugars—glucose and fructose—that is made by heating sugar with water. It is thought to be sweeter than table sugar, and foods that contain it retain moisture better and crystallize less easily. Bakers, who call it invert syrup, may use it more than other sweeteners. The mixture of the two simple sugars is formed by a process of hydrolysis of sucrose. This mixture has the opposite direction of optical rotation as the original sugar, which is why it is called invert sugar.
