Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R:Assertion A: Nephrons are of two types: Cortical & Juxta medullary, based on their relative position in cortex and medulla.Reason R: Juxta medullary nephrons have short loop of Henle whereas, cortical nephrons have longer loop of Henle.In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer:

  1. A
    Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
  2. B
    Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
  3. C
    A is true but R is not false
  4. D
    A is not false but R is true

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Shutterstock Explore Assertion A is true: Nephrons are indeed classified this way.Reason R is false: It is the opposite. Juxta medullary nephrons have very long loops of Henle that run deep into the medulla, whereas cortical nephrons have short loops.
