4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
Assertion (A): | Depletion of ozone is particularly marked over the Antartic region. |
Reason (R): | Ozone depletion is occurring widely in the stratosphere due to pollutants like CFCs. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |

Assertion (A): | Water pollutants like mercury and DDT undergo biomagnification. |
Reason (R): | Toxic substances cannot be metabolised or excreted thus they accumulate in the organism. Then, they passed on to the next higher trophic level. |

1. | Reducing the amount of unburnt hydrocarbons before exhaust formation |
2. | Converting NOx to nitrogen |
3. | Reducing lead in the exhaust |
4. | Converting carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide |
1. | CFCs are being produced in high amounts all over the world |
2. | CFCs release fluorine atoms which degrade ozone |
3. | Cl atoms formed by them act as catalyst in reaction causing degradation of ozone |
4. | Cl atoms formed by CFCs are used up in the reaction causing degradation of ozone |
