percentage of total number of bones in the body
of an adult human being is nearly equal to
 20%
 30%
 40%
 50% - ANSWER

Explanation: Number of Bones in Hands= 27 (8
Carpals + 5 meta carples+14 Phalenges in each
hand)
Number of Bones in Feet=26 ( 7 Tarsals+ 5 Meta
Tarsals + 14 Phalenges in each feet)
Total Number of Bones = 206
