Options

A. steam can boil vegetables faster than water
B. boiling point increases with the increase in pressure
C. high pressure lowers the boiling point
D. None of the above

Answer

B

Explanation

The pressure cooker works on the principle that .boiling point of a liquid increases with an increase of vapour pressure above liquid..
When water alongwith food is heated in cooker, then the water vapour raises the superincumbent pressure. And as a result of this, the temperature of boiling water becomes higher than `100^@ C`.
