Vedclass · Answer

(B) Pulse pressure is defined as the difference between the systolic blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure.In a healthy adult,the normal systolic blood pressure is approximately $120\, mm\, Hg$ and the normal diastolic blood pressure is approximately $80\, mm\, Hg$.Therefore,the pulse pressure is calculated as: $120\, mm\, Hg - 80\, mm\, Hg = 40\, mm\, Hg$.Thus,the correct answer is $40\, mm\, Hg$.
