The correct Answer is:
To determine how many statements are incorrect, let's analyze each statement one by one: ### Step 1: Analyze Statement (a) **Statement (a):** Automobiles are a major cause of atmospheric pollution at least in metrocities. - **Analysis:** This statement is correct. In metropolitan areas, the high population density leads to a significant number of automobiles, which contribute to air pollution. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement (b) **Statement (b):** Water which contains 0.1% of impurities of sewage is harmful for drinking. - **Analysis:** This statement is also correct. Even a small percentage of impurities, such as bacteria, nutrients, and other contaminants, can render water unsafe for human consumption. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement (c) **Statement (c):** As organic matter increases, BOD decreases. - **Analysis:** This statement is incorrect. Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) measures the amount of oxygen required by microorganisms to decompose organic matter. As organic matter increases, BOD increases because more oxygen is needed for decomposition. ### Step 4: Analyze Statement (d) **Statement (d):** High concentration of DDT affects Ca-metabolism in birds. - **Analysis:** This statement is correct. High levels of DDT (a pesticide) can disrupt calcium metabolism in birds, leading to thinner eggshells and increased egg breakage. ### Conclusion After analyzing all four statements: - **Correct Statements:** (a), (b), and (d) - **Incorrect Statement:** (c) Thus, there is **1 incorrect statement**. ### Final Answer **The number of incorrect statements is 1.** ---

Which of the following statements is incorrect about DDT I. DDT stands for dichlorodiphenyltrichloropropane and is an organochlorine insecticide . II. DDT is soluble in water but insoluble in organic solvents. III. High concentrations of DDT disturb calcium metabolism in birds, which causes thinning of eggshell and their premature breaking . IV. In fish - eating birds, the DDT can ultimately reach a very high level of 25 ppm.
