| Statement 1: Atmospheric pressure is more than air pressure inside the bottle as the air was driven out. |
| Statement 2: Air exerts pressure on surfaces with which it comes in contact. |
A) Statement 1 is the conclusion of statement 2.
B) Statement 2 is the conclusion of statement 1.
C) Only statement 1 is correct.
D) Only statement 2 is correct.
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
The steam drives out the air from the bottle. So, when the bottle is covered with cap, it only contains steam. On cooling, the steam condenses to water and creates a vacuum inside the container. The air from outside exerts more pressure than that is exerted from inside the bottle, thereby the shape of the bottle gets distorted.
