Question

Match the following.

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

Hint:

Vitamin A $\rightarrow$ Night Blindness, Vitamin B$_1$ $\rightarrow$ Beri-Beri, Vitamin C $\rightarrow$ Scurvy, Vitamin E $\rightarrow$ Muscular Weakness.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Vitamins are essential organic compounds required in small quantities for normal growth and metabolism. Deficiency of different vitamins leads to characteristic diseases. Knowledge of vitamin deficiency diseases is important in biomolecules and human health studies.

Step 1: Match Vitamin A. Deficiency of Vitamin A causes: \[ \boxed{\text{Night Blindness}} \] Therefore: \[ (c)\rightarrow(i) \]

Step 2: Match Vitamin C. Deficiency of Vitamin C causes: \[ \boxed{\text{Scurvy}} \] Hence: \[ (b)\rightarrow(iv) \]

Step 3: Match Vitamin B. Deficiency of Vitamin \(B_1\) causes: \[ \boxed{\text{Beri-Beri}} \] Therefore: \[ (d)\rightarrow(ii) \]

Step 4: Match Vitamin E. Vitamin E deficiency is associated with muscular weakness and reproductive disorders. Hence: \[ (a)\rightarrow(iii) \] Therefore the correct matching is: \[ \boxed{ (a)\rightarrow(iii),\; (b)\rightarrow(iv),\; (c)\rightarrow(i),\; (d)\rightarrow(ii) } \]
