Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Vitamin A deficiency causes xerophthalmia and night blindness (P→3,6); B₁ causes beri-beri (Q→7); B₁₂ causes pernicious anaemia (R→1); vitamin C causes bleeding gums/scurvy (S→8); vitamin D causes rickets and osteomalacia (T→4,9); vitamin E causes muscular weakness (U→5); vitamin K increases blood clotting time (V→2).
