NEET Zoology (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

If the average residual volume (RV) in the lungs is 1150 mL, what is the functional residual capacity (FRC) if the expiratory reserve volume (ERV) is 1100 mL?

A

2250 mL

B

1100 mL

C

1200 mL

D

225 mL

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) is the volume of air remaining in the lungs after a normal expiration and is the sum of the expiratory reserve volume (ERV) and the residual volume (RV). Thus, FRC = ERV + RV = 1100 mL + 1150 mL = 2250 mL.
