Question

Systolic blood pressure of a healthy person is:

• A. 140 mm Hg
• B. 120 mm Hg
• C. 100 mm Hg
• D. 80 mm Hg

Hint:

A normal systolic blood pressure is around 120 mm Hg, which helps ensure proper circulation of blood in the body.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Systolic blood pressure is the pressure exerted by blood on artery walls when the heart contracts. The normal systolic blood pressure for a healthy person is approximately 120 mm Hg.
- If the systolic pressure is above 140 mm Hg, it indicates hypertension (high blood pressure). - If it is below 90 mm Hg, it may indicate hypotension (low blood pressure).
Thus, the correct answer is \( \mathbf{(B) \text{120 mm Hg}} \).
