If a drug has a half-life of 1 day and a volume of distibution of 40L, the total body clearance would be approximately a) 8 ml/min b) 10 ml/min c) 19 ml/min d) 29 ml/min e) 35 ml/min

yes mehandera u r right this is C t1/2 = 0.693 Vd/ total body clearance (TBC) so 1440 min = 0.693 x 40,000 ml/ TBC or TBC = 27,720 ml/ 1440 min TBC = 19.25 ml/min

1 day = 24 hours (each hour has 60 minutes) so 24 x 60 = 1440 minutes
