Consider the given two statements regarding concentration of urine by the human kidneys:
Statement I: NaCl is transported by the ascending limb of Henle’s loop which is exchanged with the descending limb of vasa recta and is returned to the interstitium by the ascending portion of vasa recta.
Statement II: Small amounts of urea enter the thin segment of the ascending limb of Henle’s loop which is transported back to the interstitium by the collecting tubule.
1. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
2. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect

Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: The filtrate gets diluted as it moves down the descending limb of loop of Henle as this part of nephron is impermeable to water but allows transport of electrolytes actively or passively.
Statement II: The filtrate gets concentrated as it moves up the ascending limb of loop of Henle as this part of nephron is permeable to water but almost impermeable to electrolytes.

Given below are statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Nephrons are of two types: Cortical & Juxta medullary, based on their relative position in cortex and medulla.
Reason (R): Juxta medullary nephrons have short-loop of Henle whereas, cortical nephrons have longer loop of Henle.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. (A) is False, (R) is True.
2. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).
3. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain(A).
4. (A) is True, (R) is False.
