Question:

Match the following:

List-I (Metal in drinking water)List-II (Maximum prescribed concentration in ppm)
A) Mn I) \( 0.05 \)
B) ZnII) \( 3.0 \)
C) CdIII) \( 0.005 \)
D) CuIV) \( 5.0 \)

Show Hint

Heavy metals have very low tolerance limits in water due to toxicity (e.g., Cd = 0.005 ppm), while essential metals like Zn have higher permissible limits.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Recall the safe ppm limits for each metal in drinking water. 

Manganese (Mn): Maximum permissible limit is 0.05 ppm
Zinc (Zn): Maximum permissible limit is 5.0 ppm
Cadmium (Cd): Maximum permissible limit is 0.005 ppm
Copper (Cu): Maximum permissible limit is 3.0 ppm

Step 2: Matching List-I with List-II
 

A) Mn → \( I \) (0.05)
B) Zn → \( IV \) (5.0)
C) Cd → \( III \) (0.005)
D) Cu → \( II \) (3.0)
