Hints
Consider the two statements:
| Assertion (A): | An excess of aldosterone can cause a decrease in potassium ion concentration in body fluids. |
| Reason (R): | Aldosterone acts mainly at the renal tubules and stimulates the reabsorption of Na+ and water. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
| 2. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 3. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R)
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
| Assertion (A): | Ascending limb of the loop of Henle is impermeable to water and allows transport of electrolytes actively or passively. |
| Reason (R): | Dilution of filtrate takes place due to efflux of electrolytes in the medullary fluid |
| 1. | (A) is True, (R) is False |
| 2. | (A) is False, (R) is True |
| 3. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) |

| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
