NEET (UG) 2024 — Question 168

Match List I with List II :

List IList II
A.Fibrous jointsI.Adjacent vertebrae, limited movement
B.Cartilaginous jointsII.Humerus and Pectoral girdle, rotational movement
C.Hinge jointsIII.Skull, don't allow any movement
D.Ball and socket jointsIV.Knee, help in locomotion

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. Option A:

    A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I

  2. Option B:

    A-I, B-III, C-II, D-IV

  3. Option C:

    A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV

  4. Option D:

    A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

    Correct

Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

Fibrous joints are immovable and occur in flat skull bones joined by sutures, so A matches III. Cartilaginous joints allow limited movement and are present between adjacent vertebrae, so B matches I. Hinge joints permit movement mainly in one plane; the knee is a hinge joint that helps in locomotion, so C matches IV. Ball-and-socket joints allow rotational movement and occur between the humerus and the pectoral girdle, so D matches II. Therefore the correct matching is A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II, which is option D.
