A punctured tyre becomes flat more easily in summer than in winter? Explain.

Due to atmospheric conditions and increased temperature, the fatigue of tyre is more during summer than in winter. Tyre loses its elasticity sooner during summer.

Explanation: -

During summer due to high temperature, the gas in the tyre expands. Due to which, volume increases and pressure decreases. As there is a puncture in the tyre, so gas gets the path to come out. So, in summer the punctured tyre becomes flat easily than in winter.
