Lungs are made up of air-filled sacs, the alveoli. They do not collapse even after forceful expiration, because of:

1. Inspiratory Reserve Volume

2. Tidal Volume

3. Expiratory Reserve Volume

4. Residual Volume

Which of the following statements correctly distinguishes between functional residual capacity (FRC) and residual volume (RV)?
1. FRC is the volume of air remaining in the lungs after a normal expiration, while RV is the volume of air remaining after a forced expiration.
2. FRC is the volume of air inhaled during a normal inspiration, while RV is the volume of air exhaled during a normal expiration.
3. FRC is the total lung capacity minus tidal volume, while RV is the total lung capacity minus vital capacity.
4. FRC is the volume of air that can be exhaled after a normal expiration, while RV is the volume of air that can be inhaled after a normal inspiration.

Assertion (A): The value of tidal volume in a healthy human is about 6000-8000 mL/min.
Reason (R): The volume of air remaining in the lungs even after forcible expiration is 1100-1200 mL.
 
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.
