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

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.

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.

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.

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%.

i.e 7.2 = 4.8 = 7:5.
= 3:2 is the answer C.

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.

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.
