Plane polarized light rotation occurs only with chiral (asymmetric) molecules that are optically active. Container P has sucrose hydrolysis producing glucose and fructose, both chiral and optically active. Container Q has NaCl formation from NaOH and HCl, producing a symmetric, achiral salt with no optical activity.

Key reaction in P: $C_{12} H_{22} O_{11} + H_{2} O \to C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}$ (glucose and fructose).

Final answer: Optical rotation is observed in container P only.
