Option 2 : Vitamin A, Citrus fruits
Concept :
Vitamins :
- Vitamins are organic substances that we require in adequate quantities for good health.
- Our body, however, cannot synthesize them.
- Therefore, we need to consume natural sources such as fruits and vegetables.
Explanation :
- Vitamins are divided into two groups– fat-soluble vitamins (Vitamins A, D, E, and K) and water-soluble vitamins (Vitamins of B group and Vitamin C).
- Each vitamin has a specific function and its deficiency leads to a particular deficiency disease.
| Fat-soluble vitamin | Sources | Need |
| Vit. A | milk, tomatoes, green vegetables, and citrus fruits | keep skin and eyes healthy |
| Vit. D | cheese, butter, sunlight | formation of bones |
| Vit. E | whole grains, spinach, and lettuce | keeps skin healthy |
| Vit. K | leafy vegetables, cereals, soybean | clotting of blood |
So, the correct answer is 'X' is Vit. A and food items are rich in Vit. A are citrus fruits.
- Deficiency of Vit. A causes night blindness.
- Deficiency of Vit. D causes Ricketts.
- Deficiency of Vit. K causes excessive bleeding.
Mistake Points
- In the official answer key, option 4 is provided as the correct answer, as the question has mentioned the vitamin which is fat-soluble and good for the eyes are vitamin A and the fruit contains the vitamin C is citrus fruit. as the yellow fruits are fruits which are yellow in colour.
