Question

Match List-I with List-II:

List-I (Diseases)	List-II (Pathogen)
(A) Pneumonia	(I) Wuchereria bancrofti
(B) Typhoid	(II) Microsporum
(C) Ringworm	(III) Salmonella
(D) Elephantiasis	(IV) Haemophilus influenzae

• A. (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)
• B. (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
• C. (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)
• D. (A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To match List-I (Diseases) with List-II (Pathogen) correctly, we need to understand the relationship between each disease and its respective pathogen.

• Pneumonia is often caused by the bacterium Haemophilus influenzae, making the correct match for Pneumonia (A)-(IV). 
• Typhoid is caused by the bacterium Salmonella, leading to the correct match for Typhoid (B)-(III).
• Ringworm is a fungal infection, commonly caused by Microsporum, hence the correct match for Ringworm (C)-(II).
• Elephantiasis is a disease resulting from infection by the parasitic worm Wuchereria bancrofti, thus the appropriate match for Elephantiasis (D)-(I).

Therefore, the correct answer is (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I). 

Answer 2

Let's match the diseases with their respective pathogens:

(A) Pneumonia: Pneumonia is caused by the bacterium Haemophilus influenzae, making (A)-(IV) correct.

(B) Typhoid: Typhoid fever is caused by Salmonella bacteria, making (B)-(III) correct.

(C) Ringworm: Ringworm is caused by a fungus called Microsporum, making (C)-(II) correct.

(D) Elephantiasis: Elephantiasis (also known as lymphatic filariasis) is caused by the parasitic worm Wuchereria bancrofti, making (D)-(I) correct.

Thus, the correct matching is:

(A)-(IV): Pneumonia → Haemophilus influenzae

(B)-(III): Typhoid → Salmonella

(C)-(II): Ringworm → Microsporum

(D)-(I): Elephantiasis → Wuchereria bancrofti

Correct answer: (2) (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I).
