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.

Proteins in muscle : proteins in bone = 3/10:1/5 = 30:20.
Now proteins = 24%.
= 24*20/100 = 7.2....Muscle.
= 24*30/100 = 4.8....Bone.
i.e 7.2 = 4.8 = 7:5.
= 3:2 is the answer C.
Now proteins = 24%.
= 24*20/100 = 7.2....Muscle.
= 24*30/100 = 4.8....Bone.
i.e 7.2 = 4.8 = 7:5.
= 3:2 is the answer C.

Its given that 24% of protein is present in human body.
But it is not given that 24% of muscles or bones weight is protein.
So distribution of protein is not given.
Answer is cannot be determined.
But it is not given that 24% of muscles or bones weight is protein.
So distribution of protein is not given.
Answer is cannot be determined.

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.

Likewise the 1st solution, we can find % of protein equivalent to muscle and bone.
24%of x=3/10==x=3/10*100/24=5/4.
24% of x=1/5==x=1/5*100/24=5/6.
Now ratio==5/4:5/6=3:2.
24%of x=3/10==x=3/10*100/24=5/4.
24% of x=1/5==x=1/5*100/24=5/6.
Now ratio==5/4:5/6=3:2.

Proteins= 24% Muscles=3/10 Bones=1/5.
proteins in the muscles/proteins in the Bones=(3/10)*24/(1/5)*24.
3/2 i.e., 3:2.
proteins in the muscles/proteins in the Bones=(3/10)*24/(1/5)*24.
3/2 i.e., 3:2.

According to me its 3:2 ratio but answer "cannot be determined" creates more confusion. Can anyone explain why its can't be determined as all details are mentioned in the available graph.

@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.

@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?

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.
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.

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 ?
