Question

Assertion (A): Renal artery carries deoxygenated blood full of nitrogenous wastes.

Reason (R): Most of the arteries carry oxygenated blood, but there are exceptions.

1. A is True and R is False.
2. A is False and R is True.
3. Both A and R are True.
4. Both A and R are False.

Options

• (1)

• (2)

• (3)

• (4)

Answer 1

(2)

Explanation:

The renal artery carries oxygenated blood to the kidneys. This blood contains nitrogenous wastes, but it is not deoxygenated. Therefore, the Assertion (A) is false.

Most arteries carry oxygenated blood, but exceptions exist, such as the pulmonary artery, which carries deoxygenated blood. Therefore, the Reason (R) is true.

Hence, A is false and R is true.
