    Respiratory quotient (R.Q.) is :

    A)  \[\frac{C{{O}_{2}}}{{{O}_{2}}}\]                               

    B)  \[\frac{{{O}_{2}}}{C{{O}_{2}}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{{{N}_{2}}}{C{{O}_{2}}}\]                               

    D)  \[\frac{C{{O}_{2}}}{{{N}_{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    The R.Q. is defined as the ratio of the \[C{{O}_{2}}\] molecules given out to the number of \[{{O}_{2}}\] molecules taken in during respiration. Respiratory quotient (R.Q.)                \[=\frac{No.\,of\,C{{O}_{2}}\,molecules\,given\,out}{No.\,of\,{{O}_{2}}molecules\,taken\,in}\]
