Question

The following pie chart represents the distribution of proteins in parts of a human body. What is the ratio of distribution of proteins in the muscles to that of proteins in the bones?

Options

• 3 : 1

• 1 : 2

• 1 : 3

• 2 : 1

Answer 1

2 : 1

Explanation:

We have,

Distribution of protein in the muscles = `1/3`

Distribution of protein in the bones = `1/6`

So, Ratio of distribution of proteins in the muscles to that of proteins in the bones,

= `1/3 ÷ 1/6`

= `1/3 xx 6/1`

= `1/1 xx 2/1`

= `2/1`

= 2 : 1
