Q.

The WBC count of a person’s blood sample is 8000/cu mm. How many eosinophils and lymphocytes would be in the same blood sample approximately?

  1. A

    300 – 500/cu mm and 1200 – 1500/cu mm respectively

  2. B

    160 – 240/cu mm and 1600 – 2000/cu mm respectively

  3. C

    300 – 500/cu mm and 500 – 700/cu mm respectively

  4. D

    100 – 120/cu mm and 160 – 200/cu mm respectively

Solution

Eosinophils make up about 2–3% of total WBCs, so for 8000 WBC/cu mm this gives roughly 160–240/cu mm.

Lymphocytes constitute about 20–25% of total WBCs, giving approximately 1600–2000/cu mm.
