Which of the following combinations defining respiratory capacities is INCORRECT?

I. Inspiratory Capacity (IC) = Tidal Volume (TV) + Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)
II. Expiratory Capacity (EC) = Tidal Volume (TV) + Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)
III. Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) = Residual Volume (RV) + Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)
IV. Vital Capacity (VC) = Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) + Tidal Volume (TV)
V. Total Lung Capacity (TLC) = Vital Capacity (VC) + Residual Volume (RV)

Choose the correct option from the following:

  1. I and III only
  2. II and IV only
  3. III and V only
  4. IV only

Answer
