Match the Vitamins given in Column I with the diseases caused by their deficiency as given in Column II. No. Vitamin No. Deficiency A K P Cheilosis B B₁₂ Q Osteomalacia C B₂ R Permicious Anaemia D D S Haemophilia

Step-by-step solution

Vitamin K deficiency leads to increased blood clotting time, which is associated with haemorrhagic conditions like haemophilia (A-S). Vitamin B₁₂ deficiency causes pernicious anaemia, a condition where the body cannot make enough healthy red blood cells (B-R). Vitamin B₂ (riboflavin) deficiency leads to cheilosis, which involves cracking and inflammation at the corners of the mouth (C-P). Vitamin D deficiency leads to softening of bones, known as osteomalacia in adults (D-Q). Matching these, we get A-S, B-R, C-P, D
