If the systolic pressure is 120 mm Hg and diastolic pressure is 80 mm Hg, the pulse pressure is `"_____"`

A

`120xx80=9600` mm Hg

B

`120+80=200` mm Hg

C

`120-80=40` mm Hg

D

`(120)/(80)=1.5` mm Hg

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Pulse pressure = Systolic pressure – Diastolic pressure (Pressure of blood in arteries)
`=120 - 80`
`=40mm Hg`.
