    A person has \[400\] million alveoli per lung with an average radius of \[0.1\]mm for each alveolus. Considering the alveoli are spherical in shape, The total respiratory surface of that person is closest to:

    A) \[50\times 1{{0}^{6}} m{{m}^{2}}\] 

    B) \[200\times 1{{0}^{6}}m{{m}^{2}}\]

    C) \[100 \times  1{{0}^{6}}m{{m}^{2}}\]           

    D) \[1000 \times 1{{0}^{6}}m{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a]
    Radius of one alveolus \[=0.1\,\operatorname{mm}\]
    Respiratory surface of one alveolus \[=4\times \frac{22}{7}\times 0.1\times 0.1\]
    Respiratory surface of 400 million alveoli \[=4\times \frac{22}{7}\times 0.1\times 0.1\times 400\times {{10}^{6}}\]\[=50.28\times {{10}^{6}}{{\operatorname{mm}}^{2}}\]= 50.28
