The ratio of the volume of CO2 evolved to the volume of O2 consumed in respiration is called as the respiratory quotient [RQ]. Calculate RQ when albumin is used as a respiratory substrate[see the given equation]:
C77H112N2O22S + 77O2 → 63 CO2 + 38 H2O + SO2 + 9 CO(NH2)2

The respiratory quotient:
I: is the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide evolved to the volume of oxygen evolved
II: is 1, if carbohydrates are used as respiratory substrates and are completely oxidized
 
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 
Assertion (A): The maximum concentration of alcohol in beverages that are
naturally fermented with yeast is about 13%.
Reason (R): In alcohol fermentation, yeast converts pyruvic acid to ethanol
and carbon dioxide.
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.
