Match List I with List II Choose the correct answer from the options given below:LIST I (Toxic substance) LIST II (Source) A. Chloroform I. Pesticide B. DDT II. Paints C. Aroclor III. Water purification D. Chromium IV. Plastics
A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
To solve the given question, we need to match the toxic substances listed in List I with their corresponding sources from List II. Let's analyze each option:
- Chloroform: Chloroform is primarily used in water purification processes, so it matches with III.
- DDT: DDT is a well-known pesticide. Therefore, it corresponds to I.
- Aroclor: Aroclor is a type of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), which is commonly associated with plastics. Thus, it matches with IV.
- Chromium: Chromium compounds are often used in paints, so it matches with II.
Based on this analysis, the correct matching of List I with List II is:
- Chloroform - Water purification (A-III)
- DDT - Pesticide (B-I)
- Aroclor - Plastics (C-IV)
- Chromium - Paints (D-II)
The option A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II correctly matches the toxic substances with their sources.
