Question

Match List I with List II \[ \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.5} \begin{array}{|c|l|c|l|} \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{List I (Diseases) & \multicolumn{2}{c|}{List II (Disease causing agent) \hline (a) & \text{Amoebiasis} & (I) & \text{Trichophyton} \hline (b) & \text{Ascariasis} & (II) & \textit{Entamoeba histolytica} \hline (c) & \text{Elephantiasis} & (III) & \text{Roundworm} \hline (d) & \text{Ringworm} & (IV) & \textit{Wuchereria} \hline \end{array} \] Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. a-IV, b-III, c-I, d-II
• B. a-III, b-II, c-I, d-IV
• C. a-II, b-III, c-IV, d-I
• D. a-II, b-IV, c-I, d-III

Hint:

Important disease-agent pairs: \[ \text{Amoebiasis} \rightarrow \textit{Entamoeba histolytica} \] \[ \text{Ascariasis} \rightarrow \text{Roundworm }(\textit{Ascaris}) \] \[ \text{Elephantiasis} \rightarrow \textit{Wuchereria bancrofti} \] \[ \text{Ringworm} \rightarrow \textit{Trichophyton, Microsporum, Epidermophyton} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Match Amoebiasis. Amoebiasis is caused by: \[ \boxed{\textit{Entamoeba histolytica}} \] Therefore, \[ (a)\rightarrow(II) \]

Step 2: Match Ascariasis. Ascariasis is caused by the intestinal roundworm: \[ \boxed{\textit{Ascaris lumbricoides}} \] Therefore, \[ (b)\rightarrow(III) \]

Step 3: Match Elephantiasis. Elephantiasis (filariasis) is caused by: \[ \boxed{\textit{Wuchereria bancrofti}} \] Therefore, \[ (c)\rightarrow(IV) \]

Step 4: Match Ringworm. Ringworm is a fungal infection commonly caused by: \[ \boxed{\textit{Trichophyton}} \] Therefore, \[ (d)\rightarrow(I) \] Thus, \[ \boxed{a\text{-II},\; b\text{-III},\; c\text{-IV},\; d\text{-I}} \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{\text{(C)}} \]
