SSC MTS 12th July 2022 Shift-1
1 to 1.5
Incorrect Answer3 to 3.5
Incorrect Answer2 to 2.5
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- In human beings, the small intestine is essential for digesting food and absorbing nutrients.
- Typically, it is quite long and coiled to increase its surface area for absorption.
- Option 1: 1 to 1.5 metres - This length is too short to be the small intestine. It might be confused with the large intestine.
- Option 2: 3 to 3.5 metres - This length might seem reasonable but is shorter than the typical small intestine.
- Option 3: 2 to 2.5 metres - Again, this is shorter than the typical length of the small intestine.
- Option 4: 7 to 7.5 metres - This is the correct range for an adult human's small intestine, which perfectly encompasses 7-7.5 meters.
