Solution

The correct option is B Po2 95 mm Hg; Pco2 40 mm Hg
Po2 in oxygenated blood (95 mm Hg)>Po2 in body cells (40 mmHg) and Pco2 in oxygenated blood is 40 mm Hg of <Pco2 in body cells (45 mm Hg) during exchange of gases between blood and tissue. Therefore, in systematic arteries, Po2 is 95 mm Hg and Pco2 is 40 mm Hg.
