The old age arteries carrying blood in the human body become barrow resulting in an increase in blood pressure. This follows from

• Pascal's law

• Stoke's law

• Bernoulli's principle

• Archimedes principle

Assertion: In a pressure cooker the water  is brought to boil. The cooker is then removed from the stove. Now on removing the lid of the pressure cooker, the water starts boiling again. 

Reason: The impurities in water bring down its boiling point.
