For the aldotetroses I-IV, the combination of TRUE statements, among P - T, is: 
I II III IV P = I and II are diastereomers and II and III are enantiomers. Q=I and IV are mesomers and are optically inactive. R = I and III can be interconverted by a base catalysed isomerisation. $\mathrm{S}=$ only I and IV are $\mathrm{HIO}_{4}$ cleavable. T = I and III are D - sugars and II and IV are L - sugars.
