Question

Match the characteristic from Col. I with the Vitamins given in Col. II.

• A. A-X, B-Y, C-Z, D-W
• B. A-Y, B-W, C-Z, D-X
• C. A-X, B-Z, C-W, D-Y
• D. A-Z, B-Y, C-X, D-W

Hint:

Remember the fat-soluble vitamins using: \[ \text{ADEK} \] Vitamin \(B_{12}\) is the only water-soluble vitamin stored significantly in liver.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: Vitamins are essential organic compounds required in small quantities for normal body functioning. They are divided into:
• Water-soluble vitamins
• Fat-soluble vitamins

Step 1: Matching water soluble vitamin not easily excreted.
Most water-soluble vitamins are excreted quickly through urine. However, Vitamin \(B_{12}\) is stored in the liver for long durations. Hence: \[ A \rightarrow Y \]

Step 2: Matching vitamin preventing cheilosis.
Cheilosis is cracking at corners of mouth caused by deficiency of Riboflavin. Riboflavin \(= B_2\) Thus: \[ B \rightarrow W \]

Step 3: Matching fat-soluble vitamin.
Fat-soluble vitamins are A, D, E and K. Among given options, only Vitamin E is fat soluble. Hence: \[ C \rightarrow Z \]

Step 4: Matching vitamin preventing seizures.
Vitamin \(B_6\) deficiency can lead to convulsions and nervous disorders. Therefore: \[ D \rightarrow X \] Thus the correct matching is: \[ A-Y,\ B-W,\ C-Z,\ D-X \]
