  1. Cyclic treatment

  2. Activated sludge treatment

  3. Primary treatment

  4. Tertiary treatment

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Sewage pollution can be prevented by treating sewage, in sewage or effluent treatment plant, before passing into water course. The treatment comprises of primary treatment, secondary treatment and tertiary treatment.
Primary treatment consists of shredding, churning, floatation, screening and sedimentation.
In secondary treatment organic matter is decomposed through sewage fungus by passing sewage through water hyacinth pond, or trickling filter method if passing sewage through thick bed of gravel, or activated sludge method i.e., passing sewage through aerated or oxidation tanks. In activated sludge method, aeration helps in oxidation of sludge or biosolid. The aerobic bacteria can be recycled. The cleared water is now chlorinated with chlorine or perchlorate salts, ozonised or irradiated with ultraviolet light to kill pathogens.
The activated sludge process is a process for treating sewage and industrial wastewaters using air and a biological floc composed of bacteria and protozoa.
The tertiary treatment is physico-chemical treatment for removing turbidity and dissolved substances. Alum, ferric chloride and lime are used for their precipitation.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

  1. Biological process

  2. Physical process

  3. Mechanical process

  4. Chemical process

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sewage pollution can be prevented by treating sewage before passing into water course in sewage or effluent treatment plant.

The sewage treatment involves -
Primary treatment, secondary treatment and tertiary treatment. 
Primary treatment consists of shredding, churning, floatation, screening and sedimentation. 
In Secondary treatment the organic matter is decomposed by microorganisms and through sewage fungus by passing through water hyacinth pond, trickling filter method or activated sludge method. Aeration helps in oxidation of sludge. 
Tertiary treatment is a physico-chemical treatment for removing turbidity and dissolved substances.
So, the correct answer is 'Biological process'

  1. Sewage treatment

  2. Manufacturing electrically operated vehicles

  3. By checking atomic blasts

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Checking atomic blasts will reduce radioactive pollution. Sewage pollution can be prevented by treating sewage before passing into water course, in sewage treatment plant or effluent treatment plant (ETP). Electrically operated vehicles will control automobile exhaust and improve the air quality in cities.
