Carbohydrates are large molecules with the molecular formula C\(_x\)(H\(_2\)O)\(_y\). In which of the following pairs is x not equal to y?

Glucose = C\(_6\)(H\(_2\)O)\(_6\)

= C\(_6\)H\(_{12}\)O\(_6\)

Maltose = C\(_{12}\) (H\(_2\)O)\(_{11}\)

= C\(_{12}\)H\(_{22}\)O\(_{11}\)

Starch = C\(_6\) (H\(_2\)O)\(_5\)

= C\(_6\)H\(_{10}\)O\(_5\)

Sucrose = C\(_{12}\) (H\(_2\)O)\(_{11}\)

= C\(_{12}\)H\(_{22}\)O\(_{11}\)

Fructose = C\(_6\)(H\(_2\)O)\(_6\)

= C\(_6\)H\(_{12}\)O\(_6\)
