Question

Answer 1

Firstly,mt everest is taller than delhi...

so when we go to top of mt everest ,due to low atmospheric pressure,there is less composition of gases....As a result,there are fewer O2 molecules...

Answer 2

Hey friend,

There are lesser molecules of oxygen and even other gases on the top Mount Everest because the density of air is less.

As we go higher and higher the layer of atmosphere becomes thinner and thinner. That is why mountaineers carry oxygen cylinders while trekking at high altitudes.
