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