A2 to 4 percent
B20 to 30 percent
C2 to 8 percent
D50 to 70 percent
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. 50 to 70 percent
1. Neutrophils are the most common of all the leukocytes.
2. They normally comprise 50 to 70 percent of the total leukocyte count.
3. Lymphocytes come second at 20 to 30 percent, monocytes at 2 to 8 percent and eosinophils at 2 to 4 percent.
4. The other three options are exactly those lesser shares, so the differential has to be recalled as an ordered set.
