A. 100/80 mmHg
B. 120/80 mmHg
C. 100/120 mmHg
D. 80/120 mmHg

Answer 1

Hint:-blood pressure is the pressure of circulating blood against the walls of blood vessels. Most of this blood pressure results from the heart pumping blood through the circulatory system. When used without qualification the blood pressure refers to the pressure in the large arteries. Blood pressure is usually expressed in terms of the systolic that is maximum pressure during one heartbeat and diastolic that is minimum pressure during one between two heartbeats in the cardiac cycle. It is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) above the surrounding atmosphere pressure.

Complete step-by-step solution:-
blood pressure exerting on the walls of the arteries, the veins and the chambers of heart. The blood pressure in the large artery of the heart, the aorta and other large arteries of a healthy adult is usually 120 mmHg during the contraction of heart (systole), and 80 mmHg during the relaxation of the heart (diastole). Normal blood pressure is usually less than 120 mmHg.
So from the above discussion it can be concluded that the correct answer is option B, 120/80 mmHg.

Additional information:-
Blood Is one of the vital signs together with respiratory rate, heart rate, oxygen saturation and body temperature that health care professionals use in evaluating a patient's health. Normal resting blood pressure in an adult indicates the normal functioning of all the vital organs of the body.

Note:- usually hypertension ( high blood pressure) is defined as the blood pressure above 140/90 and is considered severe if it is about 180/120. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. But overtime, if untreated it can cause heart diseases and stroke
