I am not 100% sure but I think DC is more dangerous than AC.
Both are dangerous. It is difficult to put numbers on it, as there are too many variables which determine the amount of current which flows through you when you get a shock. There is only one safe course when dealing with electricity, and that is to assume it is always dangerous and always avoid touching anything live.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

dc is more dangerous than ac because ac is alternating current and dc is direct current.( in the form of 240sin wt. it means for every wt=90,270. its magnitude is 240 for other values of wt this value is varying .but in 240 volt dc at every time it is constant that is 240 volt)

I've often heard it said that DC is more dangerous than AC and there are reasons for this. But as an electrician I wouldn't consider either one safer than the other. Once you're dead, it doesn't matter and either one can kill you.

Definitely DC which has a tendency to flow trough as opposed to AC which at hi frequency flows on the outside or skin. DC for the same amperage will generate more heat internally
