List-I Name of vitamins |
List-II Deficiency disease |
|
(A) Vitamin A |
(I) Increase in Fragility of RBC |
|
(B) Vitamin E |
(II) Increase blood clotting time |
|
(C) Vitamin C |
(III) Xerophthalmia |
|
(D) Vitamin K |
(IV) Scurvy |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
Vitamins are needed in small amounts, and the lack of each one causes a typical deficiency disease. Vitamins A, D, E and K are fat soluble; the B group and vitamin C are water soluble.
(A) Vitamin A — This matches (III) Xerophthalmia. Its deficiency causes hardening of the cornea of the eye (xerophthalmia) and night blindness.
(B) Vitamin E — This matches (I) Increase in Fragility of RBC. Vitamin E protects cell membranes; its deficiency makes red blood cells fragile and causes muscular weakness.
(C) Vitamin C — This matches (IV) Scurvy. Lack of ascorbic acid causes scurvy, with bleeding gums.
(D) Vitamin K — This matches (II) Increase blood clotting time. Vitamin K is needed for the clotting of blood; its deficiency makes blood take longer to clot.
Shortcut: (A)-(III) appears in Options (2) and (4); (C)-(IV) then leaves only Option (2).
