Answer:

6

  The correct option is  c

7

  The correct option is  c

Step-by-step 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

       $R = \frac{n}{m} * 100$

substituting values

     $R = \frac{90}{1555} * 100$

     R =  5.79 %

The gross autopsy rate is mathematically evaluated as

        $R_a = \frac{k}{n} * 100$

substituting values

       $R_a = \frac{25}{95} * 100$

      $R_a =$27.8 %
