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.

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A) : Ascending limb of 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. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Given below are two statements: Statement I: In the nephron, the descending limb of loop of Henle is impermeable to water and permeable to electrolytes. Statement II: The proximal convoluted tubule is lined by simple columnar brush border epithelium and increases the surface area for reabsorption. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
