A person living in Shimla observed that, cooking food without using pressure cooker takes more time. The reason is that at high altitude

Options

  1. Atemperature decrease
  2. Bpressure increases
  3. Cpressure decreases
  4. Dtemperature increases

Correct answer

C. pressure decreases

Step-by-step solution

At higher altitudes the space between air molecules is more that results is decrease in pressure. So, cooking without pressure cooker at higher altitudes take more time.
