Inside an aeroplane, flying at a high altitude,
the pressure is the same as that outside
normal atmospheric pressure is maintained by the use of air pumps
the pressure inside is less than the pressure outside
normal humidity and partial vacuum are maintained

At high altitude pressure is less, pressure difference can damage the plane because there will appearer a thrust on plane from high pressure to low pressure. In order to avoid from damage air pressure inside the plane is adjusted by using air pumps.

No it's not that the plane will crash. If the pressure is less inside the plane. The people will die from nose bleeding because of low pressure. Preventing that they will maintain normal atmospheric pressure by maintaining air pumps.

I don't think the plane will crash even if there is pressure difference because the pressure will never pile up the atmospheric pressure and plane is well designed to afford it.

Your statement is true @Dinesh.

@All.

That means the pressure inside and outside the plane is the same. So it should be option A.

@Manasi.

I suggest option C.

Because the use of an air pump in the plane will suppress the pressure either high or low.

@Abhay is right.

As to maintain the body pressure of the passenger aboard the plane air pumps are used in airplane.

@Dinesh is exactly right.
