| List-I | List-II |
| (A) Chloroxylenol + terpineol | (I) Tranquillizer |
| (B) Penicillin | (II) Analgesic |
| (C) Iproniazid | (III) Antiseptic |
| (D) Aspirin | (IV) Antibiotic |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
Drugs are classified by their therapeutic action: antiseptics and antibiotics act against microorganisms, analgesics relieve pain, and tranquillizers act on the nervous system to treat stress and mental disease.
(A) Chloroxylenol + terpineol — This matches (III) Antiseptic. This mixture is the well-known antiseptic Dettol, applied to wounds and skin.
(B) Penicillin — This matches (IV) Antibiotic. Penicillin, discovered from a mould, is a bactericidal antibiotic.
(C) Iproniazid — This matches (I) Tranquillizer. Iproniazid inhibits the enzyme that breaks down noradrenaline and is used as an antidepressant, a class of tranquillizers.
(D) Aspirin — This matches (II) Analgesic. Aspirin is a non-narcotic analgesic that also lowers fever.
Shortcut: (A)-(III) leaves Options (1) and (2); (B)-(IV) then leaves only Option (2).
