Text Solution

Verified by Experts

when the cooking in made in pressure cooker, the boling increases with the increase in pressure inside the cooker. Due to it, the vegetable is easily cooked in pressure cooker. But on hills, the pressure of air is low then planes. Hence the bolling point of water becomes less on hills then in planes, Due to it, the vagetables require more time for cooking on hills then in planes.
