    For 'invert sugar', the correct statement(s) is(are)

    (Given: specific rotations of ($+$)-sucrose, ($+$)-maltose, $L$-($-$)-glucose anc. $+(+)$-fructose in aqueous solution are $+66^{\circ},+140^{\circ},-52^{\circ}$ and $+92^{\circ}$, respectively)

    ($A$) 'invert sugar' is prepared by acid catalyzed hydrolysis of maltose

    ($B$) . 'invert sugar' is an equimolar mixture of $D$-($+$)-glucose and $D$-($-$)-fructose

    ($C$) specific rotation of 'invert sugar' is $-20^{\circ}$

    ($D$) on reaction with $\mathrm{Br}_2$ water, 'invert sugar' forms saccharic acid as one of the products
