Solution

The correct option is C 25 litres
  • About 60% of human body weight is due to water and is mainly present within the cells of the body.
  • Intracellular fluid (within the cell) constitutes about 2/3 of body water.
  • Eg- In a person weighing 72 kg, 40 litres of fluid is present in the body out of which about 25 litres of water is present in the intracellular region (within the cells).
  • So, the correct answer is '25 litres'.
