Detailed Solution

The blood pressure in humans is greater at the feet than at the brain.

Because pressure of fluid depends on height of fluid coloumn, density and acceleration due to gravity.

Considering blood in human body as static fluid.

We can have pressure at brain is P1  and pressure at feet is equal to P2 .

Question Image

Using formula P2P1=hρg

ρ  of blood =1060kg/m3

g=9.80m/s2

H = 1.8 m

P2P1=1060×9.8×1.8

Pressure difference between = 14 cm of Hg.

Brain & feet is nearly.

So we get both A & R are true and R is correct explanation for A
