Solution
The correct option is B
Statement 1: False; Statement 2: True
Small intestine is 20ft long and is the longest part of the alimentary canal.
Inner lining has finger like projections called villi which helps in the absorption of nutrients.
The undigested food from the small intestine then moves into the large intestine which is 5ft long.
Water along with some minerals from the undigested food is absorbed in the large intestine.
