The BOD values for pure water and highly polluted water are respectively

The BOD values for pure water and highly polluted water are respectively
  1. $\gt 5 \mathrm{ppm}, \leq 17 \mathrm{ppm}$
  2. $\gt 5 \mathrm{ppm}, \geq 17 \mathrm{ppm}$
  3. $\lt 5 \mathrm{ppm}, \geq 17 \mathrm{ppm}$
  4. $\lt 5 \mathrm{ppm}, \leq 17 \mathrm{ppm}$

Solution

BOD (Biological oxygen demand) is less than 5ppm in clean water, where as highly polluted water have a BOD value of 17 ppm and more. $< 5 \mathrm{ppm} \geq 17 \mathrm{ppm}$
