The correct answer is: If both assertion and reason are false.
Glycosides are formed by treating glucose with $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{OH}$ in the presence of dry $\mathrm{HCl}$ gas and can be hydrolysed by strong reagents like $\mathrm{HCN}, \mathrm{NH}_2 \mathrm{OH}$ and $\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{NHNH}_2$. Also, glycosides are known as hemiacetals.
