Question

Match List-I with List-II.
List-I (Name of Vitamin) List-II (Deficiency disease)
A. Vitamin B12 I. Cheilosis
B. Vitamin D II. Convulsions
C. Vitamin B2 III. Rickets
D. Vitamin B6 IV. Pernicious anaemia
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
(1) A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
(2) A-I, B-III, C-II, D-IV
(3) A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
(4) A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV

Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: C — A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-IIStep-by-step Solution:A. Vitamin B₁₂ (Cobalamin) → Pernicious Anaemia (IV): Essential for RBC formation. Deficiency causes megaloblastic anaemia due to impaired DNA synthesis.B. Vitamin D (Calciferol) → Rickets (III): Fat-soluble. Required for Ca²⁺ and phosphate absorption. Deficiency in children → soft, deformed bones (rickets); in adults → osteomalacia.C. Vitamin B₂ (Riboflavin) → Cheilosis (I): Water-soluble. Component of FAD and FMN coenzymes. Deficiency → cracking/sores at corners of mouth, inflammation of tongue.D. Vitamin B₆ (Pyridoxine) → Convulsions (II): Water-soluble. Coenzyme in amino acid metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis (GABA, serotonin). Deficiency → seizures/convulsions, especially in infants.Key Concepts:Fat-soluble vitamins: A, D, E, K (stored in body fat)Water-soluble vitamins: B-complex, C (not stored, must be supplied daily)Vitamin B₁₂ is unique — contains cobalt; found only in animal foods.
