Question

Normal body temperature of a man is-
[A] 98.4 - 98.6 F
[B] 96.6 - 96.8 F
[C] 94.4 - 98.6 F
[D] 98.4 - 99.6 F

Answer 1

Hint: Normal body temperature is the general temperature of the human body. It was given a specific value by a German scientist. If we know the temperature in Celsius, we can calculate its value in Fahrenheit by using the formula-$$(0^{\circ }C\times \frac{9}{5})+32={32}^{\circ }F$$
  Complete step by step solution: Normal human body temperature is also known as normothermia or euthermia. It is the general temperature range found among humans.
The normal body temperature is generally found to be 36.5-37.5 degree Celsius.
However, human body temperature varies from person to person. It depends on age, gender, health, emotions, what part of the body the measurement is taken at and also time of the day.

Body temperature is kept normal by thermoregulation in which our central nervous system plays a huge role.
If the body temperature is below 35 degrees, it is called to have hypothermia.
If the body temperature is above 37.5degrees, it is called hyperthermia.
And if the body temperature is above 40degrees, it is called hyperpyrexia.
As we know, normal body temperature is 36.5-37.5 degree Celsius, to convert it into Fahrenheit, we use the formula-
     $$(0^{\circ }C\times \frac{9}{5})+32={32}^{\circ }F$$
So, we can convert the degree Celsius into Fahrenheit to get the answer which will come out to be 97.7-99.5 F.
However, to find the answer, we can take the average of 36.5-37.5 degree Celsius which will be 37degree Celsius.
     $$\therefore (37\times \frac{9}{5})+32=98.6F$$
Therefore, the closest answer to the above result is option [A].

Therefore, option [A] 98.4-98.6F is the correct answer.



Note:
- It is important to remember here that normal body temperature varies from 91.8-100.1F in adults but the value 36.5-37.5 degree Celsius was given to generalize the wide range.
- It is important to remember the formula given to convert Celsius into Fahrenheit to solve this.
