The following pie charts give the information about the distribution of weight in the human body according to different kinds of components. Study the pie charts carefully to answer these questions.

Question 86

How much of the human body is neither made of bones nor skin?

Solution

We are given in the first graph that skin is $$\dfrac{1}{10}$$, bones is $$\dfrac{1}{5}$$, muscles is $$\dfrac{3}{10}$$ and the rest is others.

The total sum must be equal to 1.

Skin + Bones + Muscles + others = 1

Others = 1 - Skin - Bones - Muscles

Others $$=\ 1\ -\ \dfrac{1}{10}\ -\ \dfrac{1}{5}\ -\ \dfrac{3}{10}\ =\ \dfrac{10\ -\ 1\ -\ 2\ -\ 3}{10}\ =\ \dfrac{4}{10}$$

Neither bones nor skin = Muscles + others = $$\ \dfrac{3}{10}\ +\ \dfrac{4}{10}\ =\ \dfrac{7}{10}\ =\ \dfrac{7}{10}\ \times\ 100\ =\ 70\%$$

Hence, the correct answer is option D.
