Which among the following pairs of Vitamins is stored in our body relatively for longer duration?
- a
Thiamine and Vitamin A
- b✓
Vitamin A and Vitamin D
- c
Thiamine and Ascorbic acid
- d
Ascorbic acid and Vitamin D
Vitamin A and Vitamin D
Step 1: Analyzing Vitamin Storage — Fat-soluble vitamins are generally stored in the liver and adipose tissue, whereas water-soluble ones are excreted daily.
Step 2: Comparing the Pairs — Vitamin A and Vitamin D are both fat-soluble and can be stored in the body for relatively long durations.
Step 3: Conclusion — In contrast, thiamine () and ascorbic acid (C) are water-soluble and not stored. Thus, (b) is the correct pair. Correct option is (b).
Remember: Long-term storage explains why deficiencies in fat-soluble vitamins often take months to develop.
