RPF SI 2018 Question Paper PDF (10-Jan-2019) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

7.4

pH measures how acidic or basic a solution is on a scale of 0 to 14, where 7 is neutral.

Human blood is slightly alkaline, and its pH is normally kept within a narrow range of about 7.35 to 7.45 by buffer systems such as bicarbonate.

The average value is taken as 7.4; a fall below this range causes acidosis and a rise causes alkalosis.

Hence, 7.4.
