Following are two sets of items. Set-I lists different types of washes, while Set-II indicates method of their disposal. Match the two sets and given your answer from the code given below:< Set-I (Types of Waste) Set-II (Metdods of Disposal) (a) Dry Waste (iv) By recycling (b) Wet Waste (i) By composting (c) Toxic Waste (ii) By burying in landfills (d) Soiled Waste (iii) By dropping tdem in corporation bins.
(a)-(iv), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iii)
To solve this problem, we need to match the items in Set-I (Types of Waste) with the appropriate methods of disposal listed in Set-II:
| Set-I (Types of Waste) | Set-II (Methods of Disposal) |
| (a) Dry Waste | (iv) By recycling |
| (b) Wet Waste | (i) By composting |
| (c) Toxic Waste | (ii) By burying in landfills |
| (d) Soiled Waste | (iii) By dropping them in corporation bins. |
- Dry Waste: Typically includes materials like paper, plastics, glass, metals, etc., which can be processed and used again. These are best managed by recycling. Hence, Dry Waste is matched with (iv) By recycling.
- Wet Waste: Comprises organic matter such as food scraps and garden waste, which can decompose naturally. Composting is a suitable method for disposing of wet waste as it allows decomposition into nutrient-rich compost. Hence, Wet Waste is matched with (i) By composting.
- Toxic Waste: Includes hazardous materials like chemicals, pesticides, and batteries that require careful disposal to prevent environmental contamination. These are typically disposed of by being buried in specialized landfills designed for hazardous waste. Hence, Toxic Waste is matched with (ii) By burying in landfills.
- Soiled Waste: Contains materials like hospital waste, contaminated clothes, etc., which need to be handled properly to prevent infections. It is often recommended that these be disposed of by dropping them in designated corporation bins for appropriate treatment. Hence, Soiled Waste is matched with (iii) By dropping them in corporation bins.
Thus, the correct matching of Set-I with Set-II is: (a)-(iv), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iii).
