• A. X- Analgesic and Y- Antacid
• B. X- Antacid and Y- Analgesic
• C. X- Analgesic and Y- Antipyretic
• D. X- Antiseptic and Y- Analgesic

Answer 1

The correct option is C X- Analgesic and Y- Antipyretic

The table given below shows the types of the medicines and their function:
$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Type of Medicine}& \text{Function}\\ \text{Analgesics}& \text{Relieves pain}\\ \text{Antipyretics}& \text{Lowers fever}\\ \text{Antiseptics}& \text{Inhibits the growth of micro-organisms}\\ \text{Antacid}& \text{Reduces acidity}\end{array}$

Therefore, X is analgesic which does not gave her relief from fever and Y is antipyretic which lowered her fever.
