Answer 1

Right option is (a) True

To elaborate: The pressure inside the pressure cooker is very high. This rises the boiling point of water and the temperature inside the cooker is higher than 100°C which results in faster cooking of food. At the mountains, the pressure is less, so the boiling point of water is less than 100°C. This makes the cooking of food difficult.
