Q75 / 200 · MHT CET - Medical 2026 (24 April Shift 1) · Biology

Given below are two statements.
Statement I - The lens and cornea divide the cavity of eyeball into two chambers.
Statement II - The ability of the lens by which the light rays from far or near objects are focused on the retina is called accommodation.
In the light of above statements, select the correct option given below:

  • A
    Both statement I and statement II are correct.
  • B
    Both statement I and statement II are incorrect.
  • C
    Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect.
  • Correct answer
    D
    Statement I is incorrect but statement II is correct.

Solution

Statement I is incorrect because the cavity of the eyeball is divided into two main chambers (the aqueous chamber and the vitreous chamber) by the lens and its suspensory ligaments, not by the lens and cornea. The aqueous chamber is the space between the cornea and the lens, while the vitreous chamber is the space between the lens and the retina.

Statement II is correct because accommodation is the process by which the vertebrate eye changes optical power to maintain a clear image or focus on an object as its distance varies. This is achieved by changing the curvature and focal length of the lens.

Therefore, Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.

Answer: Statement I is incorrect but statement II is correct.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
