  1. If the temperature of a place increases suddenly, the relative humidity
    1. Increases
    2. Decreases
    3. Remains constant
    4. Fluctuates
Correct Option: B

Relative humidity is the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor in an air-water mixture to the saturated vapor pressure of water at a prescribed temperature. The relative humidity of air depends not only on temperature but also on the pressure of the system of interest. If the system at State A is isobarically heated (heating with no change in system pressure) then the relative humidity of the system decreases because the saturated vapor pressure of water increases with increasing temperature.
