Which of the following is the normal ratio between Systolic, Diastolic and Pulse pressure in an adult man ?
- A1:2:3
- B2:3:1
- Correct answerC3:2:1
- D2:2:1
Solution
The normal systolic blood pressure in a healthy adult man is $120$ mm Hg.
The normal diastolic blood pressure is $80$ mm Hg.
Pulse pressure is defined as the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Pulse pressure = $120 - 80 = 40$ mm Hg.
The ratio of Systolic : Diastolic : Pulse pressure is $120 : 80 : 40$.
Dividing by $40$, the ratio simplifies to $3 : 2 : 1$.
Answer: 3:2:1
The normal diastolic blood pressure is $80$ mm Hg.
Pulse pressure is defined as the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Pulse pressure = $120 - 80 = 40$ mm Hg.
The ratio of Systolic : Diastolic : Pulse pressure is $120 : 80 : 40$.
Dividing by $40$, the ratio simplifies to $3 : 2 : 1$.
Answer: 3:2:1
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
