Question

Boojho fell off a tree and hurt his ankle. On examination the doctor confirmed that the ankle was fractured. How was it detected?

Short Note

Solution

The doctors use the method of X-rays to detect any fracture of the bone. The X-rays pass through the muscles, tissues or cavities but do not pass through any bone. Hence, the bones appear white and it helps the doctor to detect the fracture.
