• A. 1 and 2
• B. 2 and 3
• C. 1 and 3
• D. 1, 2 and 3

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

1, 2 and 3

By using a pressure cooker, more heat can be imparted as the pressure inside the pressure cooker increases. Keeping eatables in water before cooking requires less heat for cooking and when a small burner is used the amount of cooking gas coming out from burner reduces which reduces the gas consumption.
