Read the following statements STATEMENT ( A) Middle ear, which is filled with endolymph contains three ossicles which increases the amplitude of sound. Statement-(B) Eustachian tube helps in equalising the pressure on either side of ear drum

Options

A. Both statements are correct
B. only statement A is correct
C. only statement B is correct
D. both statements are correct

Answer

To analyze the given statements about the ear, we will evaluate each statement separately.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Evaluate Statement (A)**:
- The statement claims that the middle ear is filled with endolymph and contains three ossicles that increase the amplitude of sound.
- **Fact Check**: The middle ear is not filled with endolymph; it is actually an air-filled chamber. The three ossicles (malleus, incus, and stapes) do indeed amplify sound, but the fluid endolymph is found in the inner ear, not the middle ear.
- **Conclusion**: Statement (A) is **incorrect**.

2. **Evaluate Statement (B)**:
- The statement asserts that the Eustachian tube helps in equalizing the pressure on either side of the eardrum.
- **Fact Check**: The Eustachian tube connects the middle ear to the pharynx and serves to equalize the air pressure on both sides of the eardrum, which is essential for proper hearing.
- **Conclusion**: Statement (B) is **correct**.

3. **Final Conclusion**:
- Since Statement (A) is incorrect and Statement (B) is correct, the overall conclusion is that only Statement (B) is true.

### Answer:
The correct answer is that only Statement (B) is correct.
