What is the ratio of distribution of proteins in the muscles to that of proteins in the bones?

(a) 3 : 1

(b) 1 : 2

(c) 1 : 3

(d) 2 : 1

Answer 1

Distribution of protein in muscles $=\frac{1}{3}$
Distribution of protein in bones $=\frac{1}{6}$
Ratio of distribution of proteins in the muscles to that of proteins in the bones
$=\frac{1}{3}:\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{6}{1}$ = $\frac{2}{1}$
$=2:1$
