Question

Thiamine and pyridoxine are also known respectively as:

Options
  1. a

    Vitamin B2\text{B}_2 and Vitamin E

  2. b

    Vitamin E and Vitamin B2\text{B}_2

  3. c

    Vitamin B6\text{B}_6 and Vitamin B2\text{B}_2

  4. d

    Vitamin B1\text{B}_1 and Vitamin B6\text{B}_6

Correct Answerd

Vitamin B1\text{B}_1 and Vitamin B6\text{B}_6

Detailed Solution

Step 1: Identifying B-Vitamins — Each member of the B-complex family is commonly known by a specific chemical name.

Step 2: Mapping Thiamine and Pyridoxine — Thiamine is the chemical name for Vitamin B1\text{B}_1, and Pyridoxine is the name for Vitamin B6\text{B}_6.

Step 3: Conclusion — This identifies the correct sequence: B1\text{B}_1 and B6\text{B}_6. Correct option is (d).
