Question

Match the following:
 

List–I	List–II
A. Ball and socket joint	I. Inter carpal joint
B. Hinge joint	II. Between humerus and Pectoral girdle
C. Pivot joint	III. Between carpals and metacarpals
D. Gliding joint	IV. Between atlas and axis
	V. Knee joint

• A. A–II, B–V, C–III, D–IV
• B. A–III, B–II, C–I, D–V
• C. A–II, B–V, C–IV, D–I
• D. A–I, B–IV, C–II, D–V

Hint:

Ball and socket joints (e.g., shoulder) allow multi-directional movement, hinge joints (e.g., knee) move in one plane, pivot joints (e.g., atlas-axis) allow rotation, and gliding joints (e.g., wrist) permit sliding.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Let’s pair each joint type with its correct location through direct reasoning. A ball and socket joint allows movement in multiple directions, like the shoulder, which is between the humerus and pectoral girdle (scapula)—so A matches II.
A hinge joint permits movement in one plane, like the knee, which is the knee joint—thus B matches V.
A pivot joint allows rotation, such as between the atlas and axis vertebrae in the neck, enabling head rotation—so C matches IV.
A gliding joint involves flat surfaces sliding over each other, like the intercarpal joints between wrist bones—hence D matches I.

Matching Summary: A–II, B–V, C–IV, D–I, which corresponds to option (3).
