उत्तर

Common salt is added to water while boiling eggs because it slightly raises the boiling point of water, helping the eggs cook a bit faster. If the eggshell cracks, salt helps the egg white coagulate quickly, sealing the crack and preventing leakage. It may also make the eggs easier to peel after boiling.
