Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar due to
  1. 1-2 linkage
  2. 1-4 linkage
  3. $1-5$ linkage
  4. 1-6 linkage

Solution

Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar due to 1, 2-glycosidic linkage between anomeric carbon atoms.

Therefore, there is no free aldehyde or ketone group (reducing of group) as they are involved in glycosidic linkage.
