Question

Arrange the following nutrients according to the requirements for a healthy individual in a sequential order from maximum to minimum-
A. Carbohydrates
B. Protein
C. Calcium
D. Iodine
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A), (B), (C), (D)
• B. (A), (B), (D), (C)
• C. (B), (A), (D), (C)
• D. (C), (B), (D), (A)

Hint:

Compare daily needs in the same unit: grams for macronutrients, mg for calcium, micrograms for iodine.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Convert everything to one unit:
Compare the daily amounts in milligrams. Carbohydrates: about 300000 mg (300 g). Protein: about 50000 mg (50 g). Calcium: about 1000 mg. Iodine: about 0.15 mg.

Step 2: Sort the numbers:
$300000 > 50000 > 1000 > 0.15$. So carbohydrates come first, then protein, then calcium, then iodine.

Step 3: Read the option:
The order A, B, C, D is option 1. The other options place iodine above calcium or calcium at the top, which does not match the numbers.

Final Answer:
The order from maximum to minimum is A, B, C, D. \[\boxed{1}\]
