Assertion : The cardiac output of an ordinary man and of an athlete is the same
Reason : It is impossible to alter the stroke volume as well as heart rate.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The stroke volume multiplied by the heart rate (no. of beats per min.) gives the cardiac output. Therefore, the cardiac output can be defined as the volume of blood pumped out by each ventricle per minute and average `5000` mL or `5` litres in a healthy individual. The body has the ability to alter the stroke volume as well as the heart rate and thereby the cardiac output. For example, the cardiac output of an athelete will be much higher than that of an ordinary man.

Consider a tank which initially holds V_(0) liter of brine that contains a lb of salt. Another brine solution, containing b lb of salt per liter is poured into the tank at the rate of eL//"min" . The problem is to find the amount of salt in the tank at any time t. Let Q denote the amount of salt in the tank at any time. The time rate of change of Q, (dQ)/(dt) , equals the rate at which salt enters the tank at the rate at which salt leaves the tank. Salt enters the tank at the rate of be lb/min. To determine the rate at which salt leaves the tank, we first calculate the volume of brine in the tank at any time t, which is the initial volume V_(0) plus the volume of brine added et minus the volume of brine removed ft. Thus, the volume of brine at any time is V_(0)+et-ft The concentration of salt in the tank at any time is Q//(V_(0)+et-ft) , from which it follows that salt leaves the tank at the rate of f(Q/(V_(0)+et-ft)) lb/min. Thus, (dQ)/(dt)=be-f(Q/(V_(0)+et-ft))Q=be A tank initially holds 100 L of a brine solution containing 20 lb of salt. At t=0, fresh water is poured into the tank at the rate of 5 L/min, while the well-stirred mixture leaves the tank at the same rate. Then the amount of salt in the tank after 20 min.
