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.

As per my calculation, the ratio is 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.

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.

Can you explain me why we take 24% of 30?

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.

I think the percentage of protein is a different subject and weight distribution of components of the body is a different subject. They cannot be correlated or levied as the weight of the body which does not confirm the presence of protein into it per unit of weight. Since it is asked as a ratio of proteins between two components given in weight, it appears alien.

See, If the question will be the ratio of the total amount of protein present in the muscle to the ratio of total amount protein present in the bone then the answer will be 3:2.
But in this case, they have asked about the distribution of protein that we don't know. So, here in this case, the answer will be "can not be determined".

In perspective, Protein in muscles: protein in bones will be 3/2:1 and this ratio did not in options so it's can not be determined!
