Question

Match List - I with List – II

Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

• A. a – ii, b – iv, c – iii, d – i
• B. a – iii, b – iv, c – i, d – ii
• C. a – i, b – ii, c – iii, d – iv
• D. a – iv, b – iii, c – ii, d – i

Hint:

Creating flashcards for vitamins, their chemical names, and their deficiency diseases is an effective way to memorize this information, which is frequently tested.

• B1 (Thiamine) \(\rightarrow\) Beriberi
• B2 (Riboflavin) \(\rightarrow\) Cheilosis, skin issues
• B6 (Pyridoxine) \(\rightarrow\) Convulsions, nerve issues
• B12 (Cobalamin) \(\rightarrow\) Pernicious Anemia

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Match each vitamin with its known deficiency disease.
(a) Vitamin B\(_1\) (Thiamine): Deficiency of Thiamine causes the disease Beriberi, which affects the nervous system and heart. It can also lead to stunted or retarded growth in children. So, a plausible match is (iii).
(b) Vitamin B\(_2\) (Riboflavin): Deficiency of Riboflavin can cause cheilosis (cracks at the corners of the mouth), skin disorders, and a burning sensation of the skin or tongue. So, a plausible match is (iv).
(c) Vitamin B\(_6\) (Pyridoxine): Deficiency of Pyridoxine can lead to neurological symptoms, including depression, confusion, and convulsions. So, a plausible match is (i).
(d) Vitamin B\(_{12}\) (Cobalamin): Deficiency of Vitamin B\(_{12}\) causes pernicious anemia, which is a type of megaloblastic anemia characterized by a deficiency of red blood cells (RBC). So, a plausible match is (ii).
Step 2: Compile the matches.
The most likely correct matches are:

• a \(\rightarrow\) iii
• b \(\rightarrow\) iv
• c \(\rightarrow\) i
• d \(\rightarrow\) ii

Step 3: Final Answer.
This combination corresponds to option (B).
