Three samples were tested with Benedict's solution and with iodine solution. The results are shown. Which sample contains starch but no reducing sugar?

Answer Details

Starch is shown by iodine turning blue-black, and a reducing sugar by heated Benedict's turning brick-red. Sample 2 gives blue-black with iodine (starch present) but stays blue with Benedict's (no reducing sugar), which matches exactly. Sample 1 has the reverse, and Sample 3 shows both, so only Sample 2 has starch without a reducing sugar.
