Why does the synthesis of a double sugar produce a formula of C12H22O11 instead of C12H24O12?

There might be a reasonable question hiding somewhere behind the above, but frankly the best possible answer to the question as asked is "because it is."
If you could provide details as to why you would think that the formula should be the incorrect second one, we might be able to explain the flaw in the reasoning. If it's just that you find the second one to be somehow more aesthetically pleasing and symmetrical... sorry, that's not how chemistry works.

Are maltose and sucrose isomers?
Yes, sucrose and maltose are structural isomers because they have the same simple molecular formula which is C12H22O11. This is the formula for a disaccharide, which is two monosaccharides combined together through dehydration synthesis which causes the disaccharide to lose two hydrogens and an oxygen atom, which is why the formula is C12H22O11 instead of C12H24O12.
Chemical name for C12H22O11?
Since that's a molecular formula instead of a structural formula, it's impossible to say for certain. It might be sucrose (table sugar/cane sugar), or it might be lactose (milk sugar), or it might be any number of other carbohydrates.
