$Assertion :$ In a pressure cooker the water is brought to boil. The cooker is then remove from the stove. Now on removing the lid of the pressure cooker, the water starts boiling against.
$Reason :$ The impurities in water bring down its boiling point

The water starts boiling a second time because when pressure cooker cools down pressure inside gets reduced. Reduced pressure brings down the $B.P.$ of water. The reduced $B.P.$ makes the water boil a second time.
