The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements about noise and its effects are true, let's analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement I: Noise causes psychological disorder in humans.** - Noise pollution can lead to psychological issues such as anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. Therefore, this statement is **true**. 2. **Statement II: Noise causes physiological disorder in humans.** - Noise pollution has been linked to various physiological disorders, including increased blood pressure, headaches, restlessness, and noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Thus, this statement is also **true**. 3. **Statement III: Noise is a measurable unit in dB but sometimes it is measured in Dobson unit.** - Noise is indeed measured in decibels (dB). However, the Dobson unit is used for measuring ozone concentration, not noise. Therefore, this statement is **false**. 4. **Statement IV: 150 dB is tolerable for humans.** - The human ear can tolerate around 70 dB comfortably, and exposure to sounds above 85 dB can lead to hearing loss. A sound level of 150 dB is extremely loud and can cause immediate harm. Hence, this statement is **false**. ### Conclusion: Based on the analysis: - Statement I: True - Statement II: True - Statement III: False - Statement IV: False Thus, the true statements are **I and II**. ### Final Answer: The correct statements are **I and II**. ---
