Solution

The correct option is B

(i)120 mmHg, (ii)80 mmHg


When your heart beats, it contracts and pushes blood through the arteries to the rest of your body. This force creates pressure on the arteries. This is called systolic pressure. The diastolic pressure, on the other hand, indicates the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests or relaxes between beats. A normal systolic blood pressure is 120 mmHg. A normal diastolic blood pressure number is 80 mmHg.
