SSC CGL 2024 PYQ — Question 36

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Environmental water vapour enters the pot through pores.

• The statement "Environmental water vapour enters the pot through pores" is incorrect because, in an earthen pot (matka), the cooling effect occurs due to the evaporation of water from the surface of the pot.
• The pores in the pot allow water from the inside to seep out, and as it evaporates, it absorbs heat from the surroundings, thus cooling the pot. The process is due to the evaporation of moisture from the pot's outer surface, not the environmental vapour entering through the pores.
