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

In a pressure cooker, the water's boiling point increases due to higher pressure, which allows food to cook faster. The higher temperature inside the pressure cooker reduces cooking time. This is why the assertion and reason are both true and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
