Question

Statement I: Placing frequently used items within easy reach in the kitchen helps to save both time and energy during cooking.

Statement II: It is efficient to place the refrigerator, stove, and sink far apart from each other to maximize the use of kitchen space.

Options

• Statement I is true and Statement II is false.

• Statement I is false and Statement II is true.

• Both Statements I and II are true.

• Both Statements I and II are false.

Answer 1

Statement I is true and Statement II is false.

Explanation:

Placing frequently used items within easy reach reduces unnecessary movement and saves time and energy. The kitchen “work triangle” principle recommends keeping the refrigerator, sink and cooktop reasonably close (not far apart) to minimise travel and improve efficiency, so placing them far apart is not efficient.
