The following pie chart give the information about the distribution of weight in the human body according to different kinds of components. Study the pie charts and answer the question.
Distribution of Weight in Human Body
3.
What is the ratio of the distribution of proteins in the muscles to that of the distribution of proteins in the bones ?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
It cannot be determined since the respective distributions are not known.

We can't equate the two because we are not given the weight of protien.
In the first question, we are asked to compare the two quantities but here we are asked to check the distribution of proteins. In order to do that we need to know the weight of protein which is not given. So the option is D.

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.

If you are getting 3:2, you are considering the body to be homogeneous, that is the percent of protein is equal in all parts of the body, which is not the case. This 24% is an average of the distribution of protein across the whole body. So the amount of protein in muscle or bone cannot be determined.

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.

Distribution of protien is given for whole body i.e. 24%, not its proportion in different parts of the body. That is why..

But if as we know muscles are 30% of body then we can get 24% of its is 7.2% likewise.
Is it correct can any one tell ?

In human body there are 24% of protein. If weight of body is 100 kg.
Then muscles 30% given & bone 20% given. So 24% of 30 is 7.2 and 24% of 20 is 4.8 so the ratio of muscles and bone should be 3:2.

@Ramjee Kumar, As you have mentioned that 24% of 30 is 7.2 and 24% of 20 is 4.8 so the ratio of muscles and bones be 3:2. How did you get that 3:2, Can you explain me please?

@Ramjee is it correct if we assume 100kg as weight. If yes then it is right but if not then the answer cannot be determined.
