Solution
The correct option is B Liquid A has higher latent heat of vaporization than that of liquid B A drop each of two non-corrosive and non-irritating liquids A and B at a temperature of 22 oC are placed on the skin. Liquid A gives a more cooling sensation than liquid B.
Liquid A has a higher latent heat of vaporization than that of liquid B. Due to this, more heat is absorbed from body during vapourisation of liquid A than during vapourisation of liquid B.
