Question

Match List-I with List-II:

List-I (Diseases)	List-II (Pathogen)
(A) Pneumonia	(I) Wuchereria bancrofti
(B) Typhoid	(II) Microsporum
(C) Ringworm	(III) Salmonella
(D) Elephantiasis	(IV) Haemophilus influenzae

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

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Let's match the diseases with their respective pathogens:

(A) Pneumonia: Pneumonia is caused by the bacterium Haemophilus influenzae, making (A)-(IV) correct.

(B) Typhoid: Typhoid fever is caused by Salmonella bacteria, making (B)-(III) correct.

(C) Ringworm: Ringworm is caused by a fungus called Microsporum, making (C)-(II) correct.

(D) Elephantiasis: Elephantiasis (also known as lymphatic filariasis) is caused by the parasitic worm Wuchereria bancrofti, making (D)-(I) correct.

Thus, the correct matching is:

(A)-(IV): Pneumonia → Haemophilus influenzae

(B)-(III): Typhoid → Salmonella

(C)-(II): Ringworm → Microsporum

(D)-(I): Elephantiasis → Wuchereria bancrofti

Correct answer: (2) (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I).

Answer 2

The correct match is: (A) Pneumonia - Haemophilus influenzae (IV); (B) Typhoid - Salmonella (III); (C) Ringworm - Microsporum (II); (D) Elephantiasis - Wuchereria bancrofti (I). Recognizing these common pathogen-disease pairs aids in accurate matching.
