Question

Ram is sitting in an open field. He notices wind flowing from his east. Which of the given conclusions is correct?

• A. The western part of the field has higher air pressure than its eastern part.
• B. Wind speed is independent of the pressure difference.
• C. The eastern part of the field has higher air pressure than its western part.
• D. Wind speed increases when the pressure difference decreases.

Answer 1

The correct option is C The eastern part of the field has higher air pressure than its western part.

Air moves from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure. So, if the air is coming from the east, it means that the eastern part of the field has higher air pressure than its western part.
