Match the pollutant in List I with its maximum permissible limit in drinking water given in List II $\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|}\hline & \text{List-I} & & \text{List-II} \\ \hline \text{A.} & \text{Lead} & \text{I} & 500 \text{ ppm} \\ \hline \text{B.} & \text{Sulphate} & \text{II} & 50 \text{ ppm} \\ \hline \text{C.} & \text{Nitrate} & \text{III} & 50 \text{ ppb} \\ \hline\end{array}$
Correct answer is
  1. A-II, B-III, C-I
  2. A-II, B-I, C-III
  3. A-III, B-I, C-II
  4. A-III, B-II, C-I

Solution

The maximum permissible limit in drinking water supply are:- Sulphates $\leq 200$ ppm Chlorides $\leq 250 \mathrm{ppm}$ Nitrates $\leq 45 \mathrm{ppm}$ lead $\leq 50 \mathrm{ppb}$ Fluorides $\leq 1.5 \mathrm{ppm}$
