A person weighing 40kg has about 3litres of blood. In a drop of blood (1 cu. mm), there are nearly 5*106 red blood cells, each of                   which is about 0.0mm in diameter. How many red blood cells are there in a person weighing 40 kg? If we are to form a chain of these red blood cells, how long will this chain be? Leave your answer in exponential form. 

Answer :

Given  : A person weighing 40 kg has about litres of blood.

And

A drop of blood (1 cu. mm), there are nearly 5×106 red blood cells .

We know

1 liter  =  1000000 mm3 
So,

3 liter  =  3 ×106 mm3 

So,

Total  red blood cells are there in a person weighing 40 kg = 3 ×106 ×  5×106  =  15×1012                       ( Ans )
And
Diameter of re cells  = 0.0 mm ( Given ) , Please recheck that value as if diameter of red cell  = 0.0  mm So

Length of all red cells  = 15×1012× 0. 0 = 0 mm , That is wrong .
