Question

Statement $1$: Water boils at a higher temperature on the moon.
Statement $2$: The atmospheric pressure of the moon is less than that on earth.

• A. Both Statement $1$ and Statement $2$ are correct and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement $1$
• B. Both Statement $1$ and Statement $2$ are correct, but Statement $2$ is NOT the correct explanation of Statement $1$

• D. Statement $1$ is not correct, but Statement $2$ is correct

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both Statement $1$ and Statement $2$ are correct and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement $1$

Pressure is directly proportional to boiling point. On moon, there is less atmospheric pressure and because of this boiling point increases. So water boils at high temperature on the moon.
