The correct Answer is:
To determine how many of the statements (A-D) are correct, let's analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement A: "RBCs are the most abundant of all the cells in blood."** - This statement is **correct**. Red blood cells (RBCs) are indeed the most abundant cells in the blood, responsible for transporting oxygen. 2. **Statement B: "A healthy adult man has on an average 5 billion to 5.5 billion of RBCs `mm^(3)` of blood."** - This statement is **incorrect**. The average count of RBCs in a healthy adult male is approximately 4.5 to 5.9 billion cells per cubic millimeter (mm³) of blood, not 5 to 5.5 billion. 3. **Statement C: "RBCs are formed in liver in the adults."** - This statement is **incorrect**. In adults, RBCs are primarily formed in the red bone marrow, not the liver. The liver is involved in the formation of RBCs during fetal development. 4. **Statement D: "RBCs are devoid of nucleus in most of the mammals and are biconcave in shape."** - This statement is **correct**. In most mammals, mature RBCs lack a nucleus and have a biconcave shape, which helps in maximizing surface area for gas exchange. ### Summary of Statements: - **Correct Statements:** A, D - **Incorrect Statements:** B, C ### Conclusion: Out of the four statements, **2 statements (A and D) are correct**. ### Final Answer: **2 statements are correct.** ---
