Tidal Volume and Expiratory Reserve Volume of an athlete is 500 mL and 1000 mL respectively. What will be his Expiratory Capacity if the Residual Volume is 1200 mL?
  1. 1500 mL
  2. 1700 mL
  3. 2200 mL
  4. 2700 mL

Solution

Given- Tidal Volume = 500 ml
Expiratory Reserve Volume = 1000 ml
Expiratory Capacity = TV + ERV = 500 + 1000
                                = 1500 ml
Expiratory Capacity is 1500 ml
