Q. No.
Assertion:
A person who is born and lives at sea level will develop a slightly smaller lung capacity than a person who spends their life at a high altitude.
Reason:
The partial pressure of oxygen is lower at higher altitude which, as a result means that oxygen less readily diffuses into the bloodstream.
1.
Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
2.
Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
3.
Assertion is true but reason is false.
4.
Both assertion and reason are false.

| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |

| Assertion: | Small amounts of CO dramatically reduces hemoglobin's ability to transport oxygen. |
| Reason: | CO competes with oxygen at the heme binding site. |
| 1. | Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. |
| 2. | Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. |

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
| Assertion (A): | The Bohr effect enables the body to adapt to changing conditions and makes it possible to supply extra oxygen to tissues that need it the most. |
| Reason (R): | A lower pH in strenuously metabolizing tissues promotes the dissociation of oxygen from haemoglobin, and allows the surrounding tissues to obtain enough oxygen to meet their demands. |
In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
