Question Numbers: 41-45

A nutritionist is designing a daily diet plan of a person using five food items: Milk, Spinach, Almonds, Oats, and Rice. The Minimum Daily Requirement (MDR) of the nutrients Calcium, Iron and Protein should be 1100 mg, 15 mg, and 40 g, respectively. The following table gives nutrient content per serving of each food item:

Food item	Calcium (mg)	Iron (mg)	Protein (g)
Milk	300	0	8
Spinach	90	6	3
Almonds	210	4	6
Oats	120	3	5
Rice	50	1	4

Each serving provides a certain percentage of the MDR. For example, one serving of milk satisfies 20% of MDR of Protein. Further, the number of servings of any food item should be a whole number.

Question : 41 of 90

Marks: +1, -0

When one serving of each of the five items is included in the diet plan, the nutrient with the least percentage of MDR satisfied is

Protein with 70% MDR
Calcium with 70% MDR
Calcium with 65% MDR
Protein with 65% MDR

Validate

Solution:

One serving of each:

- Calcium:

300+90+210+120+50=770 \mathrm{mg} \rightarrow 770 / 1100=70 \%

- Iron:

0+6+4+3+1=14 \mathrm{mg} \rightarrow 14 / 15 \approx 93.3 \%

- Protein:

8+3+6+5+4=26 \mathrm{~g} \rightarrow 26 / 40=65 \%

Least: Protein with 65% MDR.
