Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 
Assertion (A): The amount of carbon dioxide that can diffuse through the diffusion membrane per unit difference in partial pressure is much higher compared to that of oxygen.
Reason (R): The solubility of carbon dioxide is 20 – 25 times lower than that of oxygen.
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.

Which of the following statements is not correct?
1. Every 100 ml of oxygenated blood can deliver around 5 ml of oxygen to the tissue under normal physiological conditions.
2. Oxygen gas has most potent effect on the central chemoreceptors and plays most vital role in regulation of respiration
3. Nearly 70 percent of carbon dioxide is carried as bicarbonate in the blood.
4. Every 100 ml of deoxygenated blood delivers about 4 ml of carbon dioxide to the alveoli.
