Statement 1- Fructose and glucose react with tollens reagent
Statement 2-Both glucose and fructose are
                   C6H12O6
 
A-both are right,2 explains 1
B-both are right , 2 is not the reason for 1
C-1 is right,2 is wrong
D-1 is wrong ,2is right

ans is D.
n i think its:
Statement 1- Glucose and fructose react with tollens reagent

glucose has -CHO gp. so it reacts with tollens reagent. Fructose has -CO-. so it doesn't.

D) 1 is wrong, 2 is right

reason for 1 is that glucose has free aldehydic group whereas fructose does not.
(oh and you wrote both fructose by mistake in your question)

Fructose is a reducing sugar , so it can react with tollens reagent .

I had learned just today from brilliant's material that both glucose and fructose show tollens and fehlings tests.( a list of compounds which show the tests is given)


fructose is reducing , see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructose

check this also http://www.goiit.com/posts/list/organic-chemistry-reducing-sugar-37816.htm

D-1 is wrong ,2is right
 
whatever b the reason, in general, Ketones do not reduce tollen's reagent.

the ans is D.
glucose has an aldehydic grp n so it reacts with tollens reagent, while, fructose has a ketonic grp and so it doesnt. also, they ve the same molecular structure
