Solution

The correct option is B Inspiratory capacity + expiratory reserve volume
  • Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) + tidal volume (TV) + expiratory reserve volume (ERV) represents vital capacity (VC).
  • Now, inspiratory capacity is the total volume of air that can be inhaled after a normal expiration. It includes tidal volume and inspiratory reserve volume i.e., IC = TV + IRV.
Thus, option (a) is correct which says that vital capacity/.e., IRV + TV + ERV = IC + ERV.
