After a building collapse, among remnants, a person's length of humerus is 24.5 cm. What is the predicted height of this person?
(A) 90 cm (B) 110 cm (C) 130 cm (D) 146 cm
(C) 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.
