Solution

The surface of RBCs contain a surface antigen which determines the blood group of a person. There are different types of antigen present on the surface of RBCs such as- A (blood group A), B (blood group B), AB (blood group AB) and some do not have any antigen (blood group O). So we can verify a person according to his or her blood group.
