With reference to vitamins and its deficiency diseases, the correct statements are:
(i) Cheilosis is due to the deficiency of Riboflavin
(ii) The deficiency of Vitamin B6 causes pernicious anaemia
(iii) Osteomalacia is due to the deficiency of Vitamin E
(iv) The deficiency of ascorbic acid causes scurvy
(v) The deficiency of Vitamin A causes xerophthalmia
- A \(\text { (i), (iv) and (v) }\)
- B \(\text { (i), (ii) and (iv) }\)
- C \(\text { (ii), (iii) and (v) }\)
- D \(\text { (i), (iii) and (v) }\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\text { (i), (iv) and (v) }\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Statement (i) is correct: Riboflavin (Vitamin \(B_2\)) deficiency leads to cheilosis, which is the fissuring at the corners of the mouth and lips. Statement (ii) is incorrect: Pernicious anaemia is caused by the deficiency of Vitamin \(B_{12}\) (cyanocobalamin), not Vitamin…
