Which among the following is based on the principle that boiling point decreases with decrease in atmosphere pressure?

A

Cooking food at sea level takes longer period of time.

B

Cooking food at higher altitudes takes longer period of time.

C

Working principle of air coolers.

D

Working principle of pressure cooker.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
As we move to higher altitudes, pressure decreases, and hence, boiling point decreases. Water boils at low temperatures on the hills, and thus, the food is cooked for longer hours.
