Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The value of the parameter "Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)" is important for survival of aquatic life.

Statement II: The optimum value of BOD is 6.5ppm.6 . 5ppm .

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. AStatement I is true but Statement II is false
  2. BStatement I is false but Statement II is true
  3. CBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
  4. DBoth Statement I and Statement II are true

Correct answer

A. Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Step-by-step solution

Clean water would have BOD value of less than 5 ppm whereas highly polluted water could have a BOD value of 17ppm17ppm or more.

For survival of aquatic life dissolved oxygen is responsible its optimum limit 6.5ppm6 . 5ppm and optimum limit of BOD ranges from 10−20ppm10 - 20ppm & BOD stands for biochemical oxygen demand.
