The correct Answer is:
To determine the incorrect statements from the provided options, let's analyze each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (i)**: "Physical removal of large and small particles through filtration and sedimentation is called primary sewage treatment." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Primary sewage treatment involves the physical processes of filtration and sedimentation to remove solid particles from sewage. 2. **Statement (ii)**: "Secondary sewage treatment is mainly a mechanical process." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. Secondary sewage treatment is primarily a biological process, not mechanical. It involves the use of microorganisms to degrade organic matter in the sewage. 3. **Statement (iii)**: "Activated sludge sediment in a sewage treatment plant is a rich source of aerobic bacteria." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Activated sludge contains a high concentration of aerobic bacteria, which are essential for the biological treatment of sewage. 4. **Statement (iv)**: "Biogas, commonly called as gobar gas, is pure methane." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. While biogas contains a significant amount of methane (about 60-70%), it is not pure methane. Biogas also contains carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and traces of other gases. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statements are: - **Statement (ii)**: Secondary sewage treatment is mainly a mechanical process. (Incorrect) - **Statement (iv)**: Biogas, commonly called as gobar gas, is pure methane. (Incorrect) ### Final Answer: The incorrect statements are (ii) and (iv). ---

To determine the incorrect statements from the provided options, let's analyze each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (i)**: "Physical removal of large and small particles through filtration and sedimentation is called primary sewage treatment." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct.
