Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
Drugs are grouped by their action on the body; each class below is matched to the drug named for it in the pre-rationalised book.
(A) Tranquilizers — This matches (II) Chlordiazepoxide. With meprobamate it is a mild tranquilizer used to relieve tension.
(B) Antibiotics — This matches (I) Ofloxacin. Like vancomycin, it is a broad spectrum antibiotic.
(C) Antacids — This matches (IV) Cimetidine. It prevents histamine from acting on the receptors in the stomach wall, so less acid is released.
(D) Antihistamines — This matches (III) Seldane. Seldane (terfenadine), like brompheniramine, competes with histamine for its receptor sites.
Note: This question is from the pre-rationalised NCERT book (2022-23). The topic is not there in the latest NCERT book (2026-27), and it is also out of the CUET 2026 syllabus.
