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

Solution

Correct Option: 3

At higher altitudes (hill stations), atmospheric pressure is lower than at sea level. Since water boils when its vapor pressure equals the surrounding atmospheric pressure, water boils at a lower temperature at hill stations than at sea level (which is 100 degrees Celsius at standard pressure).
