Solution

The correct option is B 150 g
For walking 1 km the man needs 150KJ of energy. To walk 5 kms he needs 150×5=750 KJ energy. If only 30% of energy is available for muscular work, the total energy needed will be 75030×100=2500KJ1 mole of glucose produces 3000 KJ. Then for producing 2500 KJ, 5/6 mole of glucose = 56×180=150 gms of glucose will be needed (assuming the molecular weight of glucose=180 gms)
