Identify the wrong statement with reference to the transport of oxygen.

1. Partial pressure of CO2 can interfere with O2 binding with haemoglobin.
2. Higher H+ conc. in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin.
3. Low pCO2 in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin.
4. Binding of oxygen with haemoglobin is mainly related to partial pressure of O2.

Which of the following would be correct?
1. D can be exhaled only after maximum expiratory efforts
2. The value of B will be different for inhalation and exhalation
3. The amount of air remaining in lungs after a normal exhalation is C + D
