Question

Match List I with List II.

List I	Antimicrobials Names	List II	Names
(A)	Narrow spectrum antibiotic	(I)	Furacin
(B)	Antiseptic	(II)	Sulphur dioxide
(C)	Disinfectants	(III)	Penicillin-G
(D)	Broad spectrum antibiotic	(IV)	Chloramphenicol

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A)-II, (B)-I, (C)-IV, (D)-III
• B. (A)-III, (B)-I, (C)-II, (D)-IV
• C. (A)-III, (B)-I, (C)-IV, (D)-II
• D. (A)-I, (B)-II, (C)-IV, (D)-III

Hint:

• Narrow-spectrum antibiotics target specific bacteria (e.g., Penicillin-G).
• Broad-spectrum antibiotics target a wide range of bacteria (e.g., Chloramphenicol).
• Antiseptics are used for external applications to prevent infections.
• Disinfectants are stronger agents used to sterilize non-living surfaces.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- Narrow Spectrum Antibiotic (A): Penicillin-G is effective against a limited range of bacteria, making it a narrow-spectrum antibiotic. Match: (III).
- Antiseptic (B): Furacin is used for preventing infections in wounds and burns, making it an antiseptic. Match: (I).
- Disinfectants (C): Sulphur dioxide is used as a disinfectant for its antimicrobial properties. Match: (II).
- Broad Spectrum Antibiotic (D): Chloramphenicol is effective against a wide range of bacteria, making it a broad-spectrum antibiotic. Match: (IV).
Final Answer: (1)(A) – III, (B) – I, (C) – II, (D) – IV
