Question

Find out the correct match.

	Disease	Pathogen	Main organ affected
1.	Dysentery	Protozoa	Liver
2.	Ringworm	Fungus	Skin
3.	Typhoid	Bacteria	Lungs
4.	Filariasis	Common round worm	Small intestine

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

• Ringworm is a fungal infection that primarily affects the skin.
• Other options like Dysentery (Protozoa affecting the liver), Typhoid (Bacteria affecting the lungs), and Filariasis (Common roundworm affecting the small intestine) are incorrect based on their respective pathogens and affected organs.

The correct answer is (B) : 2.

Answer 2

The correct answer is: (B) 2.

Let's match the diseases with their respective pathogens and main organs affected:

• 1. Dysentery: Caused by protozoa, dysentery primarily affects the large intestine, not the liver. Therefore, this match is incorrect.
• 2. Ringworm: Caused by a fungus, ringworm affects the skin. This is the correct match, as ringworm is a fungal infection that causes itching, redness, and sometimes lesions on the skin.
• 3. Typhoid: Caused by bacteria, typhoid fever affects the intestines and other organs, not the lungs. The match with the lungs is incorrect.
• 4. Filariasis: Caused by a parasitic worm (not the common roundworm), filariasis affects the lymphatic system, not the small intestine. Therefore, this match is incorrect.

Thus, the correct match is option 2, where the disease is ringworm, the pathogen is a fungus, and the main organ affected is the skin.
