CDS 1 2026 Maths Question Paper (12-Apr-2026)

Polio - Viral disease

Athlete's foot - Fungal disease

Dengue fever - Non-viral disease

Whooping cough - Bacterial disease

The correct answer is

Dengue fever - Non-viral disease

Disease Type Matching Analysis

The question asks to identify the disease and its type pair that is incorrectly matched. Let's analyze each option:

Polio: This is a viral disease caused by the poliovirus. The match 'Polio - Viral disease' is correct.
Athlete's foot: This is a common fungal infection affecting the skin of the feet. The match 'Athlete's foot - Fungal disease' is correct.
Dengue fever: This is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus (DENV). Therefore, it is a viral disease. The option states 'Dengue fever - Non-viral disease', which is incorrect.
Whooping cough: Also known as pertussis, this is a highly contagious respiratory disease caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. The match 'Whooping cough - Bacterial disease' is correct.

Identifying the Incorrect Pair

Based on the analysis, Dengue fever is classified as a viral disease. The option suggesting it is a 'Non-viral disease' is factually incorrect.

Therefore, the pair that is not correctly matched is Dengue fever - Non-viral disease.
