Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect A normal ECG is a series of ridges and furrows. It consists of different types of waves such as a P-wave, QRS complex, and T-wave. In ECG graph of heart pulse, 'R' is the peak point. It represents spreading of impulse from SA node, then to bundle of His and Purkinje fibers. It causes ventricular depolarisation resulting in ventricular contraction. It takes 0.06 to 0.10 seconds. Thus option C is the correct answer.
