Solution

The correct option is B P - Hinge joint; Q - Ball and socket joint
In the given images, P is hinge joint and Q is ball and socket joint.

Hinge joints are like door hinge where only back and forth movement is possible. Eg. Fingers and toes, knee, elbow, etc.


In ball and socket joints, one bone is hooked into hollow space of another bone. This type of joint helps in rotatory movement. Eg. Shoulders
