Which one of the following is the correct percentage of the two (out of the total of 4) green-house gases that contribute to the total global warming?

Options

  1. ACFCs 14%,CH420%14 \%, \mathrm{CH}_4 20 \%
  2. BCO240%\mathrm{CO}_2 40 \%, CFCs 30%30 \%
  3. CN2O6%,CO286%\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O} 6 \%, \mathrm{CO}_2 86 \%
  4. DCH420%, N2O18%\mathrm{CH}_4 20 \%, \mathrm{~N}_2 \mathrm{O} 18 \%

Correct answer

A. CFCs 14%,CH420%14 \%, \mathrm{CH}_4 20 \%

Step-by-step solution

The gases, which are transparent to solar radiation but retain and partially reflect back long wave heat radiations are called green-house gases. Recently, the concentration of green-house gases has started rising resulting in enhanced green-house effect that is resulting in increase the mean global temperature. It is called global warming. The various green house gases are CO2\mathrm{CO}_2 (warming effect 60%),CH4(20%)60 \%), \mathrm{CH}_4(20 \%), CFCs (14\%) and nitrous oxide- N2O(6%)\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}(6 \%).
