(a) 3Na+ and 2K+ are transported
Explanation:
During sodium-potassium pump, the concentration of sodium ions will be about 14 times more in extra cellular fluid (outside) and concentration of potassium ions will be about 28-30 times more in axoplasm (inside). Thus, 3Na+ and 2K+ are transported during the process.
