Assertion: Fructose reduces Fehling's solution and Tollen's reagent.
Reason: Fructose does not contain any aldehydic group.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Fructose contains the α-ketol group, i.e., -COCH2OH which gets converted into the α-aldol group, i.e., -CHOHCHO group under basic conditions of the reaction and hence reduces Fehling's solution and Tollen's reagent.
