Body Mass Index
The BMI is defined as the body mass divided by the square of the body height, and is expressed in units of ,
It can be shown mathematically as,
we can see from the expression that BMI is directly proportional to weight and inversely proportional to height.
So, analyzing the following cases,
- If Height increases and Weight increases, BMI will increase : TRUE (as both numerator and denominator increases , so chances are that BMI will increase, depending on the rate of increase in fraction).
- If Height increases and Weight decreases, BMI will decrease : TRUE (denominator increases and numerator decreases, so BMI will decrease).
- If Height decreases and Weight remains same, BMI will decrease : FALSE (denominator decreases and numerator remains same, so BMI will increase).
- If Height decreases and Weight decreases, BMI will decrease : TRUE (as both numerator and denominator decreases , so chances are that BMI will decrease, depending on the rate of decrease in fraction).
