Answer

To determine the total number of bones in the right arm or the hind limb of a man, we can break down the components of each limb.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the Bones in the Right Arm:**
- The right arm consists of several bones:
- **Humerus** (1 bone)
- **Radius** (1 bone)
- **Ulna** (1 bone)
- **Carpals** (8 bones)
- **Metacarpals** (5 bones)
- **Phalanges** (14 bones: 3 in each of the four fingers and 2 in the thumb)

2. **Calculate the Total for the Right Arm:**
- Add the number of bones:
- Humerus: 1
- Radius: 1
- Ulna: 1
- Carpals: 8
- Metacarpals: 5
- Phalanges: 14
- Total = 1 + 1 + 1 + 8 + 5 + 14 = 30 bones

3. **Identify the Bones in the Hind Limb:**
- The hind limb also consists of several bones:
- **Femur** (1 bone)
- **Patella** (1 bone)
- **Tibia** (1 bone)
- **Fibula** (1 bone)
- **Tarsals** (7 bones)
- **Metatarsals** (5 bones)
- **Phalanges** (14 bones: similar to the hand)

4. **Calculate the Total for the Hind Limb:**
- Add the number of bones:
- Femur: 1
- Patella: 1
- Tibia: 1
- Fibula: 1
- Tarsals: 7
- Metatarsals: 5
- Phalanges: 14
- Total = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 7 + 5 + 14 = 30 bones

5. **Conclusion:**
- The total number of bones in both the right arm and the hind limb of a man is 30.
- Therefore, the correct answer is **(c) 30**.
