A pressure cooker reduces cooking time because MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A pressure cooker reduces cooking time because
A. Low pressure decreases boiling point
B. High pressure increases boiling point
C. More water is used
D. It absorbs more heat
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Higher pressure raises boiling point, so water can reach temperatures above 100°C, cooking food faster. At high altitudes, pressure cooker compensates for lower atmospheric pressure.

Question #1
A nucleus of mass number A and atomic number Z contains
A. A protons and Z neutrons
B. Z protons and A-Z neutrons
C. A-Z protons and Z neutrons
D. Z protons and A neutrons

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Atomic number Z = number of protons. Mass number A = protons + neutrons. So neutrons = A - Z. Electrons = Z in neutral atom. Isotopes same Z, different N.

Which particle has no charge?
A. Proton
B. Electron
C. Neutron
D. Alpha particle

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Neutron is neutral (charge 0). Proton +e, electron -e. Alpha particle +2e. Neutron mass slightly more than proton. Discovered by Chadwick.

Question #3
LED working principle:
A. Electroluminescence
B. Incandescence
C. Fluorescence
D. Phosphorescence

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
LED: electroluminescence - electron-hole recombination in semiconductor emits photons. Incandescence: thermal radiation (bulbs); Fluorescence: UV excitation. Memory tip: 'LED = semiconductor light emission; no filament, efficient'. Modern device principle frequently tested in competitive exams linking physics to technology.
