Question

Assertion (A): Cooking time is reduced in pressure cooker.
Reason (R): Boiling point of water inside the pressure cooker is elevated.

• A. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
• B. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
• C. Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
• D. Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

Hint:

Pressure cookers are effective because they use increased pressure to elevate the boiling point of water, cooking food faster.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Due to elevated pressure within a pressure cooker, water's boiling point rises, consequently accelerating food preparation. The increased internal temperature consequently shortens cooking duration. Therefore, both the assertion and its justification are valid, with the justification accurately elucidating the assertion.
