Q144 / 180 · NEET 2019 (All India) · Zoology

Tidal Volume and Expiratory Reserve Volume of an athlete is 500 mL and 1000 mL respectively. What will be his Expiratory Capacity if the Residual Volume is 1200 mL?

  • Correct answer
    A
    1500 mL
  • B
    1700 mL
  • C
    2200 mL
  • D
    2700 mL

Solution

Given- Tidal Volume = 500 ml
Expiratory Reserve Volume = 1000 ml
Expiratory Capacity = TV + ERV = 500 + 1000
                                = 1500 ml
Expiratory Capacity is 1500 ml

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
