The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) in water, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Dissolved Oxygen (DO):** - Dissolved oxygen is essential for the survival of aquatic life, especially fish. - The minimum concentration of dissolved oxygen required for the growth of fish is generally accepted to be more than 5 ppm. 2. **Identifying the Value of X:** - Since the concentration of dissolved oxygen for fish growth should be more than 5 ppm, we can denote this value as X. - Therefore, we can conclude that \( X = 5 \) ppm (the minimum requirement) but since it should be more than 5, we can take \( X = 6 \) ppm for the sake of this question. 3. **Understanding Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD):** - BOD measures the amount of oxygen that microorganisms will consume while decomposing organic matter in water. - In clean water, the BOD should be less than 5 ppm to indicate that the water is not polluted. 4. **Identifying the Value of Y:** - Since the BOD in clean water should be less than 5 ppm, we can denote this value as Y. - Thus, we conclude that \( Y < 5 \) ppm. For the purpose of this question, we can take \( Y = 5 \) ppm as the upper limit. 5. **Final Values:** - Therefore, we have \( X = 6 \) ppm and \( Y = 5 \) ppm. ### Conclusion: The values of X and Y are: - \( X = 6 \) ppm (Dissolved Oxygen) - \( Y = 5 \) ppm (Biochemical Oxygen Demand)
