Solution

Heart beat is the rhythmic contraction of the heart while pulse is caused by the heart beat. Heart sends the blood through the arteries with certain pressure, arteries in our body are compressed at certain positions and when blood rushes at certain pressure the arteries palpate and this palpation is known as the pulse.
