Question

The normal breathing rate is 12-16 breaths per minute. Four friends were performing different activities to check the variation in their breathing rates. Vijay was resting, Ananya was studying, Karan was doing yoga and Suhana was running on a treadmill. While recording the data, the values got mismatched. From the data given below, what could be Karan’s actual breathing rate depending on the type of activity performed.

• A. 13-15 breaths per minute
• B. 12-16 breaths per minute
• C. 16-18 breaths per minute
• D. 18-20 breaths per minute

Answer 1

The correct option is C 16-18 breaths per minute

Answer - Option a

Since Vijay is resting, he will have breathing rate of a normal adult i.e. 12-16. Ananya was studying so she will have breathing rate close to the normal range i.e. 14-16. Suhana was running on the treadmill thus will have the highest breathing rate of 18-20 breaths per minute. So Karan will have breathing rate of 16-18 breaths per minute.
