D. The number of cities which experienced a decline in their annual SO2 emission level during 1999-2000 was more than the corresponding figure during 1998-1999. Which of the following statement is true?
Answers and Explanations
Answer 1. (D)
The average annual level of SO2 emission for Yamuna Nagar during 1997-2003 is 23.94 and not 23.74 μg / m3. Hence, option (D) is false.
Answer 2. (A)
The highest average annual level of SO2 emission on different
years is as follows
1997⇒112.3
1998⇒ 114.9
1999⇒ 93.3
2000 ⇒ 64.6
2001 ⇒ 46.5
2002 ⇒ 40.9
2003 ⇒ 39.3
So the different is maximum for the years 1998 & 2003.
Answer 3. (C)
In Faridabad, the emission level of SO2 in the years 2001, 2002 and 2003 is less than in any years from 1997-2000. So definitely, the average level of SO2 emission during 1997-2000 for Faridabad is higher than the average annual level for the city for the period from 1997-2003.
Answer 4. (A)
By options:
(A) Cochin & Pondichery during 1999 – 2000 Cochin ⟶ + 31.1
Pondichery ⟶–55.7
(B) Calcutta & Nagda during 1998 – 1999 Calcutta ⟶+ 26.7
Nagda ⟶–28.3
(C) Madras & Anpara during 2001 – 2002 Madras ⟶ + 14.8
Anpara ⟶ –22.9
(D) Nagda & Pondichery during 1997 – 1998 Nagda ⟶–26.6
Pondichery ⟶ + 2.6
The difference is maximum in option A (Both cases when absolute difference is required or not) i.e. 86.8.
Answer 5. (B)
The annual emissile level decline for different years are as follows
It is maximum during 2002 – 2003. Hence, the correct option is (B).
