Question:

At hill station, the boiling point of water will be _____.

Options:

Same as at sea level

More than that at sea level

Less than that at sea level

Equal to the melting point of Ice

Correct Answer:

Less than that at sea level

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Less than that at sea level

The boiling point of water decreases with an increase in altitude. Therefore, at a hill station (which is at a higher altitude than sea level), the boiling point of water will be less than that at sea level. This is because the atmospheric pressure decreases with higher altitudes, and boiling point is directly influenced by atmospheric pressure.
