If the thyroid gland secretes hormones that increase the basal metabolic rate (BMR) by 20%, what is the new BMR if the original BMR was 1500 kcal/day?
A
1800 kcal/day
B
1700 kcal/day
C
1600 kcal/day
D
2000 kcal/day
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
An increase of 20% on a basal metabolic rate of 1500 kcal/day results in a new rate of 1800 kcal/day (1500 + 0.2 * 1500 = 1800). The thyroid hormones regulate this basal metabolic rate as mentioned in the NCERT.
