Question

Which one of the following options correctly matches the lobes of the cerebral cortex of a healthy human being (Panel-1) with their canonical sensory function (Panel-2)?

Panel-1	Panel-2
(p) Parietal lobe	(i) Sight
(q) Occipital lobe	(ii) Touch
(r) Temporal lobe	(iii) Hearing

• A. (p)-(i); (q)-(ii); (r)-(iii)
• B. (p)-(ii); (q)-(i); (r)-(iii)
• C. (p)-(iii); (q)-(i); (r)-(ii)
• D. (p)-(i); (q)-(iii); (r)-(ii)

Hint:

Match each cortical lobe to its main sense: touch, sight, or hearing.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Each lobe of the cerebral cortex has a signature sensory job, and this question tests whether you can place the parietal, occipital and temporal lobes against their main senses.

1. Parietal lobe: carries the somatosensory strip that reads touch, pressure and body position, so it pairs with touch, not sight or hearing.
2. Occipital lobe: sits at the very back of the skull and is almost entirely devoted to vision, so it pairs with sight.
3. Temporal lobe: wraps around near the ears and holds the auditory cortex, so it pairs with hearing.

That gives (p) Parietal - (ii) Touch, (q) Occipital - (i) Sight, (r) Temporal - (iii) Hearing, which matches option (B) exactly.

Let's summarize:

• Parietal lobe reads touch and body sense.
• Occipital lobe reads sight.
• Temporal lobe reads hearing.

So option (B) is correct.
