If the systolic pressure is 120 mm Hg and diastolic pressure is 80 mm Hg, the pulse pressure is `"_____"`A. 120-80=40mm HgB. `120div80=1.5` mm HgC. `120xx80=9600` mm HgD. 120+80=200 mm Hg

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Pulse pressure is the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure or the change in blood pressure seen durign a contraction of the heart. Thus,
Systolic pressure -Diastolic pressure =Pulse pressure
`therefore` 120 mm Hg-80mm Hg=40mm Hg
