Q15 of 38 Page 1

Mohit is 28 years of age, has 65kg of body weight and is 1.4 meters tall. Calculate his BMI. Find out whether he is under nourished or overweight. Why?

Body Weight – 65 Kg

Height – 1.4 meters


BMI = 33.16


Therefore, Mohit is overweight because his BMI is more than 25.


NOTE – Body Mass Index (BMI) is a method of checking whether an adult is undernourished or overweight.


Dividing the weight of the person by the square of the height is the method of calculating the BMI ((65/1.96) = 33.16 – in this case)
