Options
- A. 300 - 500/cu.mm and 1200 - 1500/cu.mm, respectively
- B. 160 - 240/cu.mm and 1600 - 2000/cu.mm, respectively
- C. 300 - 500/cu.mm and 500 - 700/cu.mm, respectively
- D. 100 - 120/cu.mm and 160 - 200/cu.mm, respectively
Answer
B. 160 - 240/cu.mm and 1600 - 2000/cu.mm, respectively
Step-by-step solution
Total WBC count = 8000/cu.mm. Eosinophils constitute 2 - 3\% of total WBCs. Number of eosinophils = 2 100 8000 to 3 100 8000 = 160 - 240/cu.mm. Lymphocytes constitute 20 - 25\% of total WBCs. Number of lymphocytes = 20 100 8000 to 25 100 8000 = 1600 - 2000/cu.mm. Answer: 160 - 240/cu.mm and 1600 - 2000/cu.mm, respectively
