Q107 / 270 · NDA 2017 (Phase 2) · General Ability

Water boils at a lower temperature at high altitudes, because

Correct answer
A
the air pressure is less
B
outside temperature is less
C
latest heat is less
D
None of the above

Solution

High-altitude cooking is the opposite of pressure cooking in that the boiling point of water is lower at higher altitudes due to the decreased atmospheric pressure. This may require an increase in cooking times or temperature and alterations of recipe ingredients.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
