Among the following, the number of tranquilizer/s is/are .
A. Chlorodiazepoxide
B. Veronal
C. Valium
D. Salvarsan

Answer: 3

Solution

Tranquilizers are substances that relieve anxiety and bring about calm, and they include both the benzodiazepines and the barbiturates. Chlordiazepoxide and valium are benzodiazepine tranquilizers, and veronal is a barbiturate used for the same calming purpose, so all three act as tranquilizers. Salvarsan is an arsenic compound used against syphilis and has no such action. The number of tranquilizers among the four is three.
