Consider statements about vitamins: 1. Vitamin A is stored in the liver. 2. Vitamin B complex is water-soluble. 3. Excess Vitamin D is easily excreted. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1 and 3 only
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin stored primarily in the liver, and excess can lead to toxicity. The B-complex vitamins are water-soluble and generally not stored in the body in significant amounts. Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) are stored in body fat and liver, making excess Vitamin D difficult to excrete, potentially causing hypervitaminosis D. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #3
In human blood, the universal recipient blood group is:
A. AB positive
B. A negative
C. B positive
D. O negative

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
AB positive blood has both A and B antigens and the Rh antigen, so it lacks antibodies against A, B, or Rh. Hence, individuals with AB+ can receive red blood cells from any donor without agglutination. O negative is the universal donor. Compatibility depends on antigens on donor RBCs and antibodies in recipient plasma.
