Answer to Problem 1RQ
Correct answer:
0.8
Explanation of Solution
Justification/ Explanation for the correct answer:
Option (d) is given that the normal
Explanation for the incorrect answers:
Option (a) is given that the normal
Option (b) is given that the normal
Option (c) is given that the normal
Hence, options (a), (b), and (c) are incorrect.
The normal alveolar ventilation rate is about 4 litres/minute and the normal perfusion rate is about 5 liters/minute to perfusion ratio. Thus, the normal ventilation-perfusion
