After a building collapse, among remnants, a person's length of humerus is 24.5 cm. What is the predicted height of this person?
90 cm
110 cm
130 cm
146 cm
Ans: C. 130 cm(Ref Parikh 6/e p2.75, 12.2).In general, humerus represents 20%, Tibia 22%, Femur 27% and Spine 34% of the stature.Multiplication factor for humerus is 5.31 for calculation of stature.In the question, length of femur is 24.5 cm.Hence, predicted height = 5.31x24.5 = 130 cm.
