Answer»

Correct answer is (C) 1080 mg

Easy explanation: The apparent VOLUME of distribution VD is given by Amount of drug in the body (X) / plasma drug CONCENTRATION (C). Vd is expressed in liters or ml. to find out the amount of drug, the EQUATION is the apparent volume of distribution (Vd)*plasma drug concentration (C).
