SOLUTION

GIVEN

Vijay is undernourished as his weight is 45 kgs and his height is 1.78 meters.

TO DETERMINE

Body Mass Index (BMI)

EVALUATION

Here it is given that Vijay is undernourished as his weight is 45 kg

Height of Vijay = 1.78 meters

Hence the required Body Mass Index (BMI)

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{Weight}{ {(Height) }^{2} } }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{45}{ {(1.78) }^{2} } }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{45}{ 3.1684} }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ = 14.21}$

Now the nearest value of 14.21 is 14.7

So Body Mass Index (BMI) of Vijay is 14.7
