An adult human with average health has sytoitn diastolic pressures as (a) $120 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}$ and $80 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}$ (b) $50 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}$ and $80 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}$ (c) $80 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}$ and $80 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}$ (d) $70 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}$ and $120 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}$.
Which one of the following statements is correct regarding blood pressure? (a) $130 / 90 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}$ is considered high and requires treatment (b) $100 / 55 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}$ is considered an ideal blood pressure (c) $105 / 50 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}$ makes one very active (d) $190 / 110 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}$ may harm vital organs like brain and kidney
