Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II
LIST-I (Branch of Forensic Service) & LIST-II (Deals with)
A. Forensic Toxicology & I. Skeletal remains of the deceased
B. Ballistics & II. Teeth and their morphological changes
C. Forensic Osteology & III. Sources and properties of poison
D. Forensic Odontology & IV. Examination of firearms and bullets
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Hint:

Remember: Toxicology = Poison, Ballistics = Bullets, Osteology = Bones, Odontology = Teeth.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:

• Forensic science involves the application of scientific disciplines to legal investigations.
• Different specialized branches deal with different types of physical evidence found at a crime scene.

Step 1: Match Forensic Toxicology
Toxicology is the study of adverse effects of chemicals on living organisms. In forensics, it involves detecting poisons, drugs, or chemicals in the body to determine the cause of death or impairment. Thus, A matches with III.

Step 2: Match Ballistics
Forensic ballistics is the science of analyzing firearms usage. It involves the study of projectiles (bullets), shell casings, and the marks left on them by a firearm to link a weapon to a crime. Thus, B matches with IV.

Step 3: Match Forensic Osteology
Osteology is the scientific study of bones. Forensic osteologists examine skeletal remains to identify the age, sex, ancestry, and possible trauma of the deceased person. Thus, C matches with I.

Step 4: Match Forensic Odontology
Odontology is the study of teeth. It is used in forensics for identifying unknown remains through dental records or analyzing bite marks found on victims or suspects. Thus, D matches with II.

Step 5: Final Sequence
The correct matches are A-III, B-IV, C-I, and D-II. This corresponds to option (C).
