Question

Workers in deep mines usually suffer from dehydration because-

• A. Water is lost due to evaporation
• B. Water is lost due to defecation
• C. Water is lost in the form of urines
• D. Water is lost along with salts in the form of sweat

Answer 1

The correct option is D Water is lost along with salts in the form of sweat

Miners sweat profusely, during their physical work. The sweat is composed of both water and salt. As a result, the deep miners suffer from dehydration as there is loss of water along with salts from skin in the form of sweat.

In mines, there is high temperature and water is lost along with salts in the form of sweat so dehydration occurs.
