Question

Match List I with List II:

List I		List II
A	Exophthalmic goiter	I	Excess secretion of cortisol, moon face & hypergylcemia
B	Acromegaly	II	Hypo-secretion of thyroid hormone and stunted growth.
C	Cushing’s syndrome	III	Hyper secretion of thyroid hormone & protruding eye balls.
D	Cretinism	IV	Excessive secretion of growth hormone.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To match the conditions with their corresponding descriptions, we need to identify each condition and its characteristics:

• A - Exophthalmic goiter: This is characterized by hypersecretion of thyroid hormones and is commonly associated with protruding eyeballs. Thus, it matches III.
• B - Acromegaly: This condition results from excessive secretion of growth hormone, typically causing enlarged features. This matches IV.
• C - Cushing’s syndrome: Characterized by excess secretion of cortisol, often leading to symptoms such as a moon face and hyperglycemia. This matches I.
• D - Cretinism: This is due to hypo-secretion of thyroid hormone, leading to stunted growth. Therefore, it matches II.

Now matching the items in List I with List II, we find:

• A matches III - Hyper secretion of thyroid hormone & protruding eye balls.
• B matches IV - Excessive secretion of growth hormone.
• C matches I - Excess secretion of cortisol, moon face & hyperglycemia.
• D matches II - Hypo-secretion of thyroid hormone and stunted growth.

Therefore, the correct arrangement is A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II, which aligns with the option given as the correct answer.

Answer 2

Step 1: Understanding each condition:

Exophthalmic Goiter: This condition is caused by an overproduction of thyroid hormone. It is characterized by protruding eyeballs, weight loss, and excessive sweating, which leads to the classification of this condition as III. The overproduction of thyroid hormone leads to hyperthyroidism.

Acromegaly: This condition is caused by excessive secretion of growth hormone, leading to abnormal growth of bones and tissues. The most common result is an enlarged jaw, hands, and feet, which corresponds to IV.

Cushing’s Syndrome: This syndrome is caused by excess cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. Symptoms of Cushing's syndrome include a "moon face," hyperglycemia, and high blood pressure. Therefore, this condition matches with I.

Cretinism: Cretinism is a disorder caused by the hypo-secretion of thyroid hormones, leading to stunted growth and developmental delays. This condition matches with II, as it results from insufficient thyroid hormone production.

Step 2: Conclusion:

Thus, the correct match is as follows:

• A - III: Exophthalmic goiter is associated with hyper secretion of thyroid hormone and protruding eyeballs.
• B - IV: Acromegaly is due to excessive secretion of growth hormone.
• C - I: Cushing’s syndrome results from excess secretion of cortisol, leading to moon face and hyperglycemia.
• D - II: Cretinism occurs due to hypo-secretion of thyroid hormone, leading to stunted growth.

Answer: The correct match is A - III, B - IV, C - I, D - II.
