Asthma : Lungs :: Conjunctivitis : ?

Question

Asthma : Lungs :: Conjunctivitis : ?

1. A. Bones
2. B. Teeth
3. C. Eyes (Correct answer)
4. D. Skin

Correct Answer

Option C — Eyes

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is Eyes.

Key Points

• This is a disease–organ analogy.
• The relationship is 'a disease : the body part it affects'.
• Asthma is a respiratory condition that affects the Lungs (it inflames and narrows the airways).
• By the same logic, Conjunctivitis — commonly called 'pink eye' — is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the membrane covering the Eyes.
• So Conjunctivitis : Eyes, exactly as Asthma : Lungs.
• in analogy questions, first state the exact relationship in words ('X is a disease of organ Y'), then apply the identical relationship to the second pair.

Exam Tip

• build a quick mental list of common disease–organ links for such questions — Arthritis : Joints, Hepatitis : Liver, Nephritis : Kidney, Cataract : Eye, Meningitis : Brain — as these recur across JKSSB and SSC papers.
