Can anyone explain this prob to me?i did not understand.
there r two events opposite in direction occurs in the capillary: filtration and reabsorption
what favours filtration is 2 factors : capillary hydrostatic pressure and interstitial osmotic pressure .....in this problem the sum is 27 mmhg
what favours reabsorption is : interstitial hydrostatic pressure and capillary osmotic pressure...in this problem the sum is 15 mmhg
so net result is filtration of12mmhg
now the question states that the filtration coeffecient is 1ml/min/mmhg
so the answer is 12ml/min/mmhg
if the coeffecient was 2ml/min/mmhg the answer would be 24
and so on

Answer is C
{12-(-5)}-(20-15)
= 17-5
