Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 22.2 kg/m2.
To calculate the Body Mass Index (BMI) of a person, the formula used is:
BMI = weight (kg) / (height (m))².
Given the person's weight is 50 kg and height is 1.5 meters, the calculation will be:
BMI = 50 / (1.5 × 1.5) = 50 / 2.25 = 22.22.
Therefore, the BMI of the person is 22.22, which falls within the normal weight range as per standard BMI classification.
