can you solve this question please? It had come in MAHE 2001/physio. Please give explanation if possible!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Following are the values for saturation of hemoglobin with gases pao2 = 60mmHg; paco2 = 30mmhg ; O2 saturation in arterial blood = 17 ; Hb = 14mg/dl;

The percentage of O2 saturation in arterial blood can be calculated by the formula........

a) 17 – (60x.003) /60x.003 x 100

b) 14x1.34 x 100
17-(60x.003)

c) 17x1.34 /14x1.34 x 100

d) 14 – (60x.003)/17x1.34 x 100

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks in advance
