Question

Match the following columns and choose the correct option :

Column-I		Column-II
1.	Haemophilus influenzae	p.	Malignant malaria
2.	Entamoeba histolytica	q.	Elephantiasis
3.	Plasmodium falciparum	r.	Pneumonia
4	Wuchereria bancrofti	s.	Amoebiasis

• A. 1-r, 2-p, 3-q, 4-s
• B. 1-q, 2-r, 3-s, 4-p
• C. 1-r, 2-s, 3-p, 4-q
• D. 1-s, 2-p , 3-q, 4-r

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the organisms and their associated diseases

• Haemophilus influenzae: A bacterium that causes pneumonia.
• Entamoeba histolytica: A protozoan parasite responsible for causing amoebiasis.
• Plasmodium falciparum: A protozoan parasite that causes malignant malaria.
• Wuchereria bancrofti: A parasitic worm that causes elephantiasis.

Step 2: Matching the columns

• Haemophilus influenzae → Pneumonia (r)
• Entamoeba histolytica → Amoebiasis (s)
• Plasmodium falciparum → Malignant malaria (p)
• Wuchereria bancrofti → Elephantiasis (q)

The correct answer is (C) : 1-r, 2-s, 3-p, 4-q.

Answer 2

The correct answer is: (C) 1-r, 2-s, 3-p, 4-q.

Let's match the diseases with their respective pathogens and corresponding conditions:

• 1. Haemophilus influenzae is a bacterium that causes Pneumonia. Therefore, the correct match is 1-r.
• 2. Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan parasite that causes Amoebiasis, which affects the intestines and causes symptoms like diarrhea and dysentery. Therefore, the correct match is 2-s.
• 3. Plasmodium falciparum is the protozoan responsible for Malignant malaria, a severe form of malaria that can lead to organ failure. Therefore, the correct match is 3-p.
• 4. Wuchereria bancrofti is a parasitic worm responsible for Elephantiasis, a condition causing severe swelling of body parts, often the legs. Therefore, the correct match is 4-q.

Thus, the correct matching is 1-r, 2-s, 3-p, 4-q.
