Solution

  1. As we go higher the air pressure decreases continuously.
  2. Inside out body, there are many gaseous substances that are present which are adjusted with the air pressure at the ground level.
  3. As Rahul goes at the high altitudes the outer pressure decreases but the pressure inside his body remains the same and so due to the pressure difference, his ears of the Rahul start popping.
