Question

Match the diseases in Group A with their corresponding causative microorganisms in Group B 

 

• A. P: iii, Q: iv, R: i, S: ii
• B. P: iv, Q: ii, R: iii, S: i
• C. P: ii, Q: iv, R: i, S: iii
• D. P: iii, Q: ii, R: iv, S: i

Hint:

To remember the causative organisms: \textbf{M. leprae} causes Hansen's disease, \textbf{T. pallidum} causes syphilis, \textbf{B. burgdorferi} causes Lyme disease, and \textbf{T. brucei} causes sleeping sickness.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the diseases.
- P: Hansen’s disease is caused by Mycobacterium leprae.
- Q: Sleeping sickness is caused by Trypanosoma brucei.
- R: Syphilis is caused by Treponema pallidum.
- S: Lyme disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi.
Step 2: Conclusion.
Thus, the correct matching is:
- P: iv (Mycobacterium leprae)
- Q: ii (Trypanosoma brucei)
- R: iii (Treponema pallidum)
- S: i (Borrelia burgdorferi)
So, the correct answer is (B).
