Vital capacity of lung is:
ERV + ERV
IRV + ERV + TV + RV
ERV + ERV + TV + RV
IRV + ERV + TV
To solve this problem, we need to understand the components of lung volumes and capacities.Vital capacity (VC) is the maximum amount of air a person can expel from the lungs after a maximum inhalation.It is calculated as the sum of the following lung volumes:Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV): The additional air that can be inhaled after a normal inhalation.Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV): The additional air that can be exhaled after a normal exhalation.Tidal Volume (TV): The amount of air inhaled or exhaled during normal breathing.Therefore, the formula for Vital Capacity is:VC = IRV + ERV + TVNow, let's evaluate the options:Option 1: ERV + ERV (Incorrect, as it does not include IRV or TV)Option 2: IRV + ERV + TV + RV (Incorrect, as it includes Residual Volume (RV), which is not part of VC)Option 3: ERV + ERV + TV + RV (Incorrect, as it repeats ERV and includes RV)Option 4: IRV + ERV + TV (Correct, as it matches the formula for VC)Therefore, the correct option is Option 4.
