Question

Match the types of glycosides under Column I with their respective examples under Column II and choose the correct option:

	Column I Glycosides		Column II Examples
A	Anthracene	I	Digitalis
B	Cardiac	II	Licorice
C	Saponin	III	Senna
D	Cyanogenetic	IV	Ashwagandha
		V	Bitter Almond

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve this problem, we need to correctly match the types of glycosides listed in Column I with their corresponding examples found in Column II. Let's go through each pair:

1. Anthracene Glycosides: These are glycosides that have their aglycones derived from anthraquinones. A well-known example of this type is found in Senna. Therefore, the correct matching is A - III.
2. Cardiac Glycosides: These glycosides affect the heart. A notable example is found in Digitalis. Therefore, the correct matching is B - I.
3. Saponin Glycosides: These have soap-like properties and are commonly found in Licorice. Thus, the correct matching is C - II.
4. Cyanogenetic Glycosides: These release cyanide upon hydrolysis and a common example is found in Bitter Almond. Hence, the correct matching is D - V.

Upon examining the given options, the correct answer is: A-III, B-I, C-II, D-V.

This matches each type of glycoside with its correct and respective example:

• Anthracene with Senna
• Cardiac with Digitalis
• Saponin with Licorice
• Cyanogenetic with Bitter Almond

The correct answer choice is therefore:

• A - III, B - I, C - II, D - V
