Consider the two statements regarding the human internal ear:
| Statement I: | The malleus is attached to the tympanic membrane and the stapes is attached to the oval window of the cochlea. |
| Statement II: | At the base of the cochlea, the scala vestibuli ends at the round window, while the scala tympani terminates at the oval window which opens to the middle ear. |
| 1. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct |
| 2. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct |
| 3. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect |

Given below is the chronological sequence of events in mechanisms of vision and hearing. The correct events are:
1. Only A
2. Only B
3. Both A and B
4. Neither A nor B
| A | Mechanism of vision | Light induces dissociation of the retinal from opsin → change in the structure of the opsin → membrane permeability changes → generation of action potentials in the ganglion cells through the bipolar cells → action potentials are transmitted by the optic nerves to the visual cortex. |
| B | Mechanism of hearing | Vibrations are transmitted through the ear ossicles to the round window → vibrations generate waves in the lymphs → this induces a ripple in the Reissner’s membrane → the hair cells press them against the basilar membrane → nerve impulses generated are transmitted to the auditory cortex. |
2. Only B
3. Both A and B
4. Neither A nor B
