A barometer can be used in determining the length of a: I. mountain II. Depth of a mine III. Dew point. Which of the following is/are correct?

  • A. I, II, III
  • B. II and III only
  • C. I and III only
  • D. I and II only

Explanation

A barometer measures atmospheric pressure and can be used to estimate altitude/depth via pressure differences (I and II); the source's key marks 'III only' as correct, though physically a barometer does not measure dew point — this looks like a likely error in the original key.
