Question
Assertion: Deoxyribose, \[\ce{C5H10O4}\] is not a carbohydrate.
Reason: Carbohydrates are hydrates of carbon so compounds which follow \[\ce{C_x(H2O)_y}\] formula are carbohydrates.
Options
Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason explains the assertion.
Both assertion and reason are wrong statements.
Assertion is correct statement and reason is wrong statement.
Assertion is wrong statement and reason is correct statement.
Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason does not explain assertion.

Solution
Both assertion and reason are wrong statements.
Explanation:
Deoxyribose is a carbohydrate and is the sugar moiety of DNA. Carbohydrates are optically active polyhydroxy aldehyde or polyhydroxy ketone or substances which give these on hydrolysis.
