There are several ways to answer that question. First, if two monosaccharides C6H12O6 are used to form a disaccharide, the resulting disaccharide would be C6H22O11 because we would have C6*2 H12*2-2 O6*2-1 (subtract 2H and 1O because this reaction is a dehydration synthesis reaction, aka condensation reaction that result in the release of one water molecule per reaction). The second way to answer this question is that disaccharides are carbohydrates and carbohydrates always have their H and O atoms at a 2 to 1 ratio (hence the name 'hydrate'), and C12H22O12, though possible to create, is not a carbohydrate and therefore not a disaccharide.
