  • (A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)
  • (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
  • (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I)
  • (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)
Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to match each industry from List-I with the correct type of waste it generates from List-II. Let's analyze each pair:

  1. Steel Plants: The primary waste produced by steel plants is Slag. Slag is generated during the extraction of metal from its ore. Thus, (A) matches with (III).
  2. Thermal Power Plants: These plants mostly produce Fly ash as a waste product. Fly ash is created during the combustion of coal. Therefore, (B) matches with (II).
  3. Fertilizer Industries: One of the byproducts in fertilizer production is Gypsum, especially in the production of phosphatic fertilizers. Hence, (C) matches with (I).
  4. Paper Mills: The waste generated by paper mills is primarily Bio-degradable Waste due to the organic material involved in paper production. Hence, (D) matches with (IV).

Based on this analysis, the correct matching is:

  • (A)-(III)
  • (B)-(II)
  • (C)-(I)
  • (D)-(IV)

Therefore, the correct answer is:

(A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)
