Statement I: Fructose can reduce Tollen’s reagent

Statement II: Fructose is a ketone

Both Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I

The correct answer is Statement I is correct but Statement II is false.

Statement I: Fructose can reduce Tollen’s reagent.

This statement is correct. Tollen's reagent is a chemical test used to identify aldehydes. Fructose is a ketose, which means that it has a ketone group. However, fructose can tautomerize to form an enol, which has an aldehyde group. The aldehyde group in the enol form of fructose can react with Tollen's reagent to form a silver mirror.

Statement II: Fructose is a ketone.

This statement is false. Fructose is a ketose, which means that it has a ketone group. However, a ketone group cannot reduce Tollen's reagent. Therefore, Statement II cannot be the correct explanation of Statement I.

Therefore, the correct answer is (2) Both Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I.
