I have attached the structures of glucose and fructose in MS word format.
Basically, you just need go through all of the carbon centres and see whether they are chiral. In other words, you need to check whether any of the constituents on the carbon atom are the same. So ...

Dear OTA,
I have 2 multiple questions as attached. I have done those but have some doubts. The questions are in red and my answer is in black.
Need to get explanation why the option B in #61 is wrong (heavy references) and why option A in #53 is wrong (also references)
Basically I need to know why only 1 option is good for each question.
