The measured BOD values for four different water samples (A-D) are as follows: A= 3 ppm; B=18 ppm; C=21 ppm D=4 ppm. The water samples which can be called as highly polluted with organic wastes, are
A and B
A and D
B and C
B and D
As we have learnt,
Highly polluted water has a BOD of more than 17 ppm.
Thus, water samples B (18 ppm) and C (21 ppm) are highly polluted.
Hence, the correct answer is Option (3)
