Answer:

6

The correct option is c

7

The correct option is c

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The total number of deaths is n = 87+ 3 = 90

The total number of discharges and deaths is m = 1432 + 123 = 1555

The total number of Autopsies is k = 23 + 2 = 25

The gross death rate is mathematically evaluated as

`R = (n)/(m) * 100`

substituting values

`R = (90)/(1555) * 100`

R = 5.79 %

The gross autopsy rate is mathematically evaluated as

`R_a = (k)/(n) * 100`

substituting values

`R_a = (25)/(95) * 100`

`R_a =`27.8 %
