Question

Match List-I with List-II

List-I (Type of Waste)	List-II (Classification)
(A) Type 0 Waste	(III) Garbage
(B) Type 1 Waste	(II) Rubbish
(C) Type 2 Waste	(I) Trash
(D) Type 3 Waste	(IV) Refuse

• A. A - I, B - II, C - III, D - IV
• B. A - I, B - III, C - II, D - IV
• C. A - I, B - IV, C - II, D - III
• D. A - III, B - I, C - IV, D - II

Hint:

Think of the waste types on a scale from dry to wet: \textbf{Type 0 (Trash)} is driest (paper), \textbf{Type 3 (Garbage)} is wettest (food). Rubbish and Refuse are in between.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understand the classification of waste for incineration purposes. Step 1: The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and other bodies classify waste into types based on its composition and suitability for incineration.

Type 0 (Trash): Highly combustible waste like paper, cardboard, and wood.
Type 1 (Refuse): A mix of combustible waste like paper, rubbish, and some garbage.
Type 2 (Rubbish): Combustible waste with a higher moisture content, consisting of paper, rags, and some non-combustibles.
Type 3 (Garbage): Animal and vegetable waste from restaurants, kitchens, etc. High moisture content.
Type 4 (Pathological): Human and animal remains.
Step 2: Match the Waste Types (List-I) with the Classifications (List-II).
Step 2: Based on standard classifications:

A. Type 0 Waste is best defined as I. Trash (dry, highly combustible).
B. Type 1 Waste is best defined as IV. Refuse (a mixture).
C. Type 2 Waste is best defined as II. Rubbish (combustibles with more moisture).
D. Type 3 Waste is best defined as III. Garbage (food waste).
Step 3: Conclude the correct matching.
Step 3: The correct matching is A-I, B-IV, C-II, D-III.
