Detailed Solution

Humidity has an inverse effect on the rate of evaporation. That means the rate of evaporation is inversely proportional to the effect of humidity.

The higher the humidity, the lower will be the rate of evaporation because as the humidity increases there remains less space for the new molecules to evaporate.
