Correct answer: A

  1. Identify each reaction of glucose

    We match each reagent with the product formed.


    (A) Glucose + HI

    On prolonged heating with excess HI, glucose gets completely reduced to nnn-hexane.

    Glucose→heatHIHexane\text{Glucose} \xrightarrow[\text{heat}]{HI} \text{Hexane}GlucoseHIheat​Hexane

    So, (A)→(IV)(A) \to (IV)(A)→(IV)


    (B) Glucose + Br2Br_2Br2​ water

    Bromine water is a mild oxidizing agent. It oxidizes the aldehyde group of glucose to a carboxylic acid, giving gluconic acid.

    Glucose→Br2/H2OGluconic acid\text{Glucose} \xrightarrow{Br_2/H_2O} \text{Gluconic acid}GlucoseBr2​/H2​O​Gluconic acid

    So, (B)→(I)(B) \to (I)(B)→(I)


    (C) Glucose + acetic anhydride

    Glucose has five −OH-OH−OH groups, so with acetic anhydride it forms glucose pentacetate.

    Glucose→(CH3CO)2OGlucose pentacetate\text{Glucose} \xrightarrow{(CH_3CO)_2O} \text{Glucose pentacetate}Glucose(CH3​CO)2​O​Glucose pentacetate

    So, (C)→(II)(C) \to (II)(C)→(II)


    (D) Glucose + HNO3HNO_3HNO3​

    Nitric acid is a strong oxidizing agent. It oxidizes both the aldehyde group and the terminal primary alcohol group to carboxylic acids, giving saccharic acid.

    Glucose→HNO3Saccharic acid\text{Glucose} \xrightarrow{HNO_3} \text{Saccharic acid}GlucoseHNO3​​Saccharic acid

    So, (D)→(III)(D) \to (III)(D)→(III)

  2. Final matching

    (A)−(IV), (B)−(I), (C)−(II), (D)−(III)(A)-(IV),\ (B)-(I),\ (C)-(II),\ (D)-(III)(A)−(IV), (B)−(I), (C)−(II), (D)−(III)

  3. Compare with options

    This corresponds to Option A.

  4. Comparison with stored correct answer

    Stored correct answer = A

    Our derived answer = A

    Hence, they agree.
