Arrange the following elements in descending order of their contribution to percentage weight of the human body. (a) Oxygen (b) Carbon (c) Hydrogen (d) Nitrogen Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Options
- A(b), (a), (c), (d)
- B(a), (b), (c), (d)
- C(c), (a), (b), (d)
- D(b), (c), (d), (a)
Correct answer
B. (a), (b), (c), (d)
Step-by-step solution
The approximate contribution of various elements to the percentage weight of the human body is as follows: Oxygen (O) 65.0 % Carbon (C) 18.5 % Hydrogen (H) 9.5 % Nitrogen (N) 3.3 % Arranging these elements in descending order of their percentage weight, we get: Oxygen > Carbon > Hydrogen > Nitrogen This corresponds to the sequence (a), (b), (c), (d). Answer: (a), (b), (c), (d)
