Asolution 1: 0.05% reducing sugar, solution 2: 0.5% non-reducing sugar, solution 3: 1.0% reducing sugar, solution 4: 0.1% reducing sugar
Bsolution 1: 0.5% reducing sugar, solution 2: 0.0% reducing sugar, solution 3: 1.0% reducing sugar, solution 4: 0.1% reducing sugar
Csolution 1: 1.0% reducing sugar, solution 2: 1.0% non-reducing sugar, solution 3: 1.5% reducing sugar, solution 4: 0.5% reducing sugar
Dsolution 1: 0.05% non-reducing sugar, solution 2: 0.5% reducing sugar, solution 3: 1.0% non-reducing sugar, solution 4: 0.1% non-reducing sugar

✓ Correct answer

A: solution 1: 0.05% reducing sugar, solution 2: 0.5% non-reducing sugar, solution 3: 1.0% reducing sugar, solution 4: 0.1% reducing sugar
