Question

Consider the following statements:
A: During storms, all windows should be tightly shut
B: During storms, the air pressure outside a house is less than air pressure inside the house

• A. Both A and B are correct
• B. A is correct and B is incorrect
• C. A is incorrect and B is correct
• D. Both A and B are incorrect

Answer 1

The correct option is C A is incorrect and B is correct

We know that increased wind speed is, indeed, accompanied by reduced air pressure. As the wind speed is higher outside the house the air pressure would be lesser outside. In such cases, there is a risk of the roof getting blown away, if not constructed properly. That's why it's advisable not to close all the windows of a house with poorly constructed roofs, during a storm.
