The 2nd chart gives %s of body masses of each fraction in the first chart thus;
For muscle we have;3/10 * 24/100 =24/500,
For bones we have;1/5 * 24/100=72/1000,
Thus ratios are muscle to bone i.e 72/1000 :24/500.
Simplified to the lowest term we have 3:2.

Protein distribution is not the same in all the body parts.

Muscles may have more protein than the proteins in the bones.

So we cannot decide the distribution ratio according to the given data.
So the answer is cannot be determined.

As per my calculation, the ratio is 3:2.

The answer will be CND.

Because here 24% proteins mean total amount of protein present in a human's body not present only in the muscles. And here the distribution of the protein is not given for individual parts.

The distribution of the protein in parts of the body is not given (24% is given for the whole body, not for individual parts).

Right if this answer is not determined than the first must be wrong. Both concepts are same.

Answer will be 3:2 for sure. Because in ratio and percentage, there is no need of respective distributions.

It would be 3:2 for sure. If cannot be determine will be answer then question 1 would also be cannot be determine.
