NEET Previous Year Question

Listed below are the four respiratory capacities (1 to 4) and four jumbled respiratory volumes of a normal human adult
Respiratory capacities Respiratory volumes
(i) Residual volume 2500 mL
(ii) Vital capacity 3500 mL
(iii) Inspiratory reserve volume 1200 mL
(iv) Inspiratory capacity 4500 mL
Which one of the following is the correct matching of two capacities and volumes?

Topic: NEET PYQ

Answer: B. Full step-by-step solution below.

  1. A(ii) 2500 mL (iii) 4500 mL
  2. B(iv) 3500 mL (i) 1200 mL
  3. C(iii) 1200 mL (iv) 2500 mL
  4. D(i) 4500 mL (ii) 3500 mL

Correct answer: B

Solution

(c) Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) → 2500 mL
Inspiratory capacity (IC) → 3500 mL (TV + IRV)
Residual volume (RV) → 1200 mL
Vital capacity (VC) → 4500 mL
