Q. Floating ribs of thoracic cage are
A) 1^(st) to 7^(th) pair
B) 8^(th) to 9^(th) pair
C) 8^(th) to 10^(th) pair
D) 11^(th) to 12^(th) pair
Explanation
Usually, there are 12 pairs of ribs in humans. The first seven pairs of ribs are known as true ribs, 8^(th), 9^(th) and 10^(th) pairs are called false ribs and last two pairs ($i.e.,$ 11^(th) and 12^(th) pairs) are known as floating ribs.
