Question

Match List-I with List-II:

List-I		List-II
A	Vitamin B6	(I)	Cheilosis
B	Vitamin B2	(II)	Osteomalacia
C	Vitamin D	(III)	Anaemia
D	Vitamin B12	(IV)	Convulsions

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To identify the correct pairings of vitamins with their related deficiencies or symptoms, we will examine each vitamin individually:

1. Vitamin B₆ (Pyridoxine): Deficiency in this vitamin can lead to convulsions. This corresponds to match A-IV.
2. Vitamin B₂ (Riboflavin): Insufficient levels of this vitamin may cause cheilosis, characterized by cracking and inflammation at the mouth's corners. This corresponds to match B-I.
3. Vitamin D: Essential for calcium absorption, a lack of Vitamin D can result in osteomalacia (bone softening) in adults. This corresponds to match C-II.
4. Vitamin B₁₂ (Cobalamin): A deficiency commonly manifests as anaemia, specifically megaloblastic anaemia. This corresponds to match D-III.

The established correct pairings are: A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III.
